SO HOW'D IT GO?
Just made this filling. yummy and so easy. The hardest part was peeling the apples. This was quick and easy and it taste great.
I made these with wonton skins and formed little "purses" (they cooked the best in my deep fryer like this) but thought they were kind of plain so I quickly whipped up 1/2 of the caramel topping from this recipe: http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=22283.0 which was AMAZING!!! I would recommend making the caramel first and adding about 1 t cornstarch and letting it sit out while your making the empanada filling because it thickens as it sits.
I made spring rolls for lunch and had some left over wrappers, so I made this filling and made little apple rolls. Really good and simple ;)b
this was good but makes a whole helluva lotta filling. i halved the recipe and it was still too much to fill the dough (using the suggested dough recipe). threw the leftovers into some oatmeal the next morning and i was one satisfied vegan.
