  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Brush empanadas with milk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.

  • Place 3 to 4 empanadas in a single layer in air fryer basket (do not overcrowd). Cook for 6 to 7 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining empanadas.

  • In a medium bowl whip cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Whip until stiff peaks form. Serve with warm empanadas; sprinkle with additional cinnamon for garnish.

Tips

Look for empanada discs at Mexican markets in the refrigerated or frozen sections.

Tips

Use pure vanilla extract if Mexican vanilla is not available.
