Boysenberry Empanadas

Instructions

Place 3 tablespoons of filling on one half of each crust. Beat egg and brush a small amount around the edge of the dough. Fold over to make a half moon shape. Using a fork press the edge of the empanada to seal. Brush the surface with egg then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake at 350°F until golden brown. Dust with powered sugar and serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. Try any Lyons Fruit Filling flavor as a substitute for Boysenberry.
