Today at camp we made sweet empanadas. We first talked about the apple mixture that makes the filling. It was made of apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, sugar, and water! Then we made dough using flour, sugar, cinnamon, and butter! We rolled out the dough, used a pastry cutter to cut the dough into a circle, and then placed filling on top! We folded over the filled dough and used a fork to seal the empanada closed!
