bake 20: mini apple empanadas.

here's a super-easy recipe for the holiday season.  you can honestly do this one of two ways: with homemade or store bought dough.  in my opinion, homemade dough makes everything better- however, that takes time...and that can be hard to come by during the holiday season.  the best part of this recipe?  you can use whatever filling you desire.  the possibilities are endless.
recipe: pie dough & apple filling

adjustments: well, i didn't make a full pie obviously, so i only made about half the filling recipe.  i then rolled out the pie dough and used a large round cookie cutter to press little circles into the dough.  then i added the filling, folded the dough over & pressed the edges down with a fork.  i over-filled the pies so unfortunately they cracked and spilled quite a bit during the baking process however, they were just as delish.

review: i love bite size morsels.  much like any pie, they were perfect with ice cream.  seeing how easy these were to make (especially with store bought pie dough), i'm excited about all the possibilities.

this was #11 of the bake 20 challenge.

over the next five months i'm going to try my hand at 20 different baked goods.  there's no specific order and no plan.  just making things that look good and hopefully in the process, finding a new appreciation of baking.  feel free to join me in the Bake 20 Challenge.
