Easy Pumpkin Empanadas
These Easy Pumpkin Empanadas are the perfect handheld fall and winter treat stuffed with a delicious pumpkin filling and wrapped in a sweet and fluffy dough! Just like from your favorite Mexican panaderia, but at home!
Pumpkin season is still going strong and I’m keeping it going with these pumpkin empanadas! I grew up eating empanadas around the holidays and they’re one of my favorite things to make every year. Typically my family makes their famous sweet and savory empanadas and I recently posted a recipe for air fryer beef empanadas, so I decided to go a different route and make dessert empanadas instead!
