Here’s a quick and easy to way to fill an apple pie void and chances are you will have all of your ingredients readily available. This was a hit with my daughter who gave me the side eye as I was randomly putting it together. To give it a Latin twist, add my favorite fruit of all time, MANGO!

- 1 medium granny smith apple, peeled and thing sliced
- 1 teaspoon corn starch

El sábado pasado hice estas empanadas de manzana canela para mi familia. A ellos les gustaba las empanadas pero mi madre pensó que era un poco dulce. La receta era fácil de hacer y yo pasé a menos de diez minutos para prepararse. No tuve almidón de maíz, en lugar de eso se utiliza la harina y las empanadas eran deliciosos.
They were great! Glad I came across this recipe!
I really enjoyed the recipe. My family and I all shared it. Amazing little treat!
