Preheat oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Stir in dulce de leche until melted. Stir in flour and cinnamon.

Step 4

Cook’s Tip:

Ready-made refrigerated pastry sheets can be used in place of empanada discs. Simply use an inverted bowl that measures 5 inches in diameter to cut out circles.
