This is more of an idea than a recipe because there isn't much work making baked blueberry empanadas and they are perfect for a quick sweet treat or after-school snack!
Empanada dough is so versatile, the fillings are infinite when it comes to ideas for filling these mini hand pies with whatever you have either leftover from a previous dinner, fruits in the fridge, or even canned goods.
This is more of a guideline of ideas to give you on making something with sometimes just two ingredients involved, empanada dough, any kind of filling, bake, and viola, you have anything from savory to sweet.
The first time I made an empanada wasn't the traditional kind, we love Cuban sandwiches, so I dabbled in making an empanada using leftover pork tenderloin. You can find that recipe here also for Cuban Empanadas, which were also a huge hit.
Although traditional empanadas (pastelillos) are filled with chicken, beef, or pork, these little hand pies are so delicious it's the perfect addition to your collection of recipes for lovers of that little meat pie.
Whether you're looking for a quick little hot pocket meal or a simple dessert, these ideas below will "double down on your luck you have a winner" as the old saying goes.
