Acorn Squash Empanadas with Apple Walnut Salsa
1 large acorn squash, halved and deseeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 prepared recipe Easy Version of Traditional Empanada Dough
(I substituted the goya sazon seasoning in empanada recipe with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom)
2 small sweet apples, diced (I use 2 different colors for visual appeal)
1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
1 (2 1/4) ounce bag walnuts
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
dash cayenne pepper
dash salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the inside flesh with olive oil and roast in the oven, flesh side down, for 45 minutes or until flesh is soft. Once it has cooled, remove the flesh and separate it into 6 equal portions.
2. Place a portion of squash into each empanada and fold the dough in 1/2 to close. You can use water along the edge of the dough to help it stick into a semicircle shape. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
3. Cut three slits into the top of each empanada to allow steam to escape. You can also brush each empanada with olive oil to help with browning. Bake in oven for 20 minutes.
4. For apple salsa, toss apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Toss in walnuts, maple syrup, and spices, and stir.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
From this article I got one tip that to avoid browing of apple we need to use lemon juice. Definitely it is a useful information because more people including me don’t know what to do to avoid that brown color while cutting the apple. This is a super dish. I want to try this in my home. I also want to upload my photo like this after cooking the same dish I will upload my photo here. view this
It is a simple and easy dish. Thanks for this dish and I will try this in home and tell you how it is. change
Hey!!! It was delicious. I actually did some alterations I tried Mushrooms, red pepper flakes and added half a yellow cooking onion. I would definitely use a different dough nest time. Thank you so much for the update. Keep sharing.
