Steps:
- Thaw apples in microwave at half power 6 to 7 minutes; let stand 3 minutes. Stir together apples and flour.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a medium skillet over medium heat; add apple mixture, brown sugar, and allspice. Cook, stirring constantly for 4 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat. Coarsely mash apple mixture, and set aside.
- Stir together baking mix and 1 cup whipping cream with a fork until moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 3 to 4 times.
- Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut into 12 (5-inch) squares.
- Divide apple mixture into 12 servings and place 1 serving in center of each square. Fold 1 side of square over, pressing edges with a fork to seal. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush tops evenly with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- Bake at 400F for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the empanadas from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have any caramel sauce, you can make your own by melting 1/2 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Then, add 1 cup of brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- To make the empanada dough, be sure to use cold butter. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- To fry the empanadas, use a large skillet with plenty of oil. This will help to ensure that the empanadas cook evenly.
- Be sure to drain the empanadas on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
