Jelly-Filled Empanadas

Jelly-Filled Empanadas are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These empanadas are filled with your favorite jelly and baked to perfection. The combination of the flaky pastry and the sweet jelly filling is simply irresistible.

To make these Jelly-Filled Empanadas, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup jelly of your choice
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of jelly onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the jelly and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the empanadas with the beaten egg.
Bake the empanadas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jelly-Filled Empanadas are a perfect dessert for any occasion. They are sweet, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The combination of the jelly filling and the buttery pastry is simply divine. Serve them warm with a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat.
