Pumpkin Cream Cheese Empanadas Recipe

October 3, 2014

I love all things pumpkin. Each fall, I challenge myself to come up with new and exciting ways to utilize pumpkin in delicious recipes. Canned pumpkin is extremely versatile and is always yummy when baked up into something sweet—and these empanadas are no exception. These are a hit time and time again and they make an excellent snack for the kiddos.

The filling is warm and creamy, with a flavor similar to pumpkin cheesecake but without all of the work and time it takes to prepare. This pumpkin cream cheese empanadas recipe are easy to make and even easier to eat. Bake up a batch or maybe even two because they go FAST and are sure to be a welcome addition to your fall baking repertoire.
