Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 8 flour tortillas 8-inch
- 1 cherry pie filling 21-oz can
- vegetable oil for frying
- Whipped Cream for serving, sweetened
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
- Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Put about 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Fold the ends in, then roll up like a burrito. Make sure they are rolled tightly. Lay seam side down on a baking sheet. (At this point, you can refrigerate them. It makes them a little easier to fry, but it's not required.)
- Heat about 3/4" of oil to 350F in a heavy duty skillet or Dutch oven. Once hot, add the empanadas, 2 or 3 at a time, to the oil. Cook until browned on one side, then turn to brown the other side. When browned, immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place on a clean plate. Continue until all empanadas are cooked.
- Serve with sweetened whipped cream.
