Ingredients Empanada Dough:

• 14 1/2 ounces Cream Cheese
• 6 1/4 ounces Butter, Unsalted
• 1 1/2 cups Flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Ingredients Cajeta and Pineapple Filling:

• 1 14-ounce can Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 Pineapple, fresh, cleaned, trimmed
• Finely diced Zest of 1 orange

Instructions Empanada Dought:

1. In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter. Mix until well combined.

3. Mix the cream cheese mixture into the flour bowl. Mix the dough for two and a half minutes or until the dough comes together.
4. Flatten the dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for one hour.
5. Weigh the dough into 2-ounce portions of dough. Roll the portions into small balls.
6. On a clean and floured surface, roll out the balls to form 3 inch circles.

Instructions Cajeta and Pineapple Filling:

1. In a large pot, place the unopened can and cover with water. Simmer but do not boil. You want the milk to reduce. It should take about 3 hours. If water evaporates, add more water. The can needs to remain under water. Set aside.
2. Cut the pineapple into small squares.

Assembly:

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Add one tablespoon of the Cajeta filling and one tablespoon of pineapple to each circle of dough.
