This was fantastic. My son is allergic to dairy so I used soy butter and cream cheese. The dough was great and baked up flakey and delicious. I made apple filling and the whole batch was gone before the day was over. Yummy!

I had problems with the dough. I just couldn't get it to fold right and I didn't roll it out because I would have needed to use way more flour and I wanted to try and use the recipe exactly. I ended up having to a spoonful of dough on the baking sheet and instead of folding it over I put the fruit right in the middle and just didn't cover it up. I then sprinkled the cinamon and sugar over it. It still turned out to be very delicious, just a different look to it.

The dough was so easy to roll, and not as delicate as traditional pie crust dough. I will make these over and over again since they are so easy and so good!

i made these for my wife's fiesta pot luck at work . it was a lot of work but all 72 were gone and they where a hit . i diddn't roll the dough , i just devided it up into 12 little balls then smash the with my hand to make the round crust . they wern't perfect but they looked athenic. i used apple pie filling (chopped up),blueberry pie filling, cherry pie filling( mashed up), nutello with chopped walnuts, sweet potatoe pie filling , and peach preserves. the ones i tried powered sugar seem to get gummie or pastie but the were ate also.

FANTASTIC! These were so easy! I rolled the dough in powdered sugar instead of flour as another reviewer had suggested. Also, I wasn't paying attention and rolled these in cinnamon sugar before baking instead of after. We used peach and blueberry preserves. Everyone loved them! I can't wait to try them with savory fillings.

I used strawberry pie filling and I also tried a few with lemon curd. The ones with the lemon curd all leaked. But the strawberry ones turned out pretty decent. And I tossed mine into some powdered sugar. Not overwhelmingly great but still tasty.

Perfect! I do feel, however, that the dough is better when used the next day.

This are really good. I made them for my son's b-day party, instead of sweet ones I use swiss cheese and spinach, they turned out amazing....TIP: I had to add some salt to it, because the first round of them did not had any flavor. After I added the salt they where excellent. Thanks for the great recipe.

These were really good. The only reason I did not give it a 5 rating was because I added ground pecans to the dough. I also used sugar free preserves because of my husband's diabtes. Will make these again, but not use as much preserves because they leaked. My fault on that one.

I loved these! im gonna try these again with different preserves since all i had was strawberry jam. but they are good. light and slighty sweet

These were so much fun to make and it introduced my grand children to a new desert. We made one batch with cherry pie filling and one with apple pie filling. We sprinkled the apple empanadas with the cinnamon sugar and the cherry with powdered sugar. This is great recipe for teaching kids to bake and thy love it.

They were great! My husband and kids loved them!

These were pretty good, but not totally great. Next time I'll roll the dough thinner, and maybe use powdered sugar instead of flour for rolling.

Delicious empanadas! Some of the reviews made me a little concerned about the difficulty in preparation but it was a cinch! I'm the kinda girl who HATES rolling out cookie dough but I really wanted to make these to surprise my hubby so I decided to give it a try. I doubled the recipe and mixed until the dough came together. It was a touch sticky and I was in a hurry so I took 1/4 of it and threw the rest in the freezer wrapped in foil. I floured my surface and rolled it out. Used a 3 inch biscuit cutter and filled with a heaping teaspoonful of mango preserves or pineapple preserves. I wet the edges with water on my finger and closed them up. Brushed with egg wash and baked for exactly 20 minutes. I thought I must be fooling myself into believing that I'd really done it without a hitch but alas... it worked perfectly!

Theese were good, I think I will try them again and double the dough recipe. I had some problems with the dough tearing and the filling leaking. everyone liked them I will keep this recipe.

I agree with everyone the dough is flaky similiar to that of a pastry. I did find them to be a little sweet. I would try and go lighter on the sugar and will definitely try pie filling for more flavor. They look very pretty!

WOW, these are awesome! I made them last night and they just sounded too easy to be good, but they are easy AND good! The crust is so light and flaky and has a wonderful flavor. I made them again today, only I didn't even refrigerate the dough. I just rolled it into balls, flatted them into circles on a cookie sheet, put a spoonful of pie filling on top, and flattened out another circle of dough and sealed it over the top. They baked up just fine. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a great recipe. I made them once for friends, and have had requests ever since. One thing that others probably have noticed, you really can't put a whole spoonful of preserves in each one. But they still taste delicious!

Good, but I was expecting fantastic. The dough was easy to work with and the trick it not to over fill them. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

The dough for this recipe is wonderful. Very delicious and a tremendous hit with everyone who has it. You have no idea how many "brownie points" this recipe gives me in my wife's family who are predominantly Hispanic.
