Mango Ginger Empanada

Instructions

  1. Place the mangos and brown sugar in a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.  Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a bowl and stir in lime juice and candied ginger. Place in refrigerator to cool completely. 

  2. Mix 1/4 cup white sugar with cinnamon; set aside. Using a 6" cookie cutter, cut out 8 circles. Place 2 tablespoons of filling onto center of once circle of dough.  Brush the edges with egg wash and fold dough to make a half circle.  Seal edges by pressing dough together with tine of fork.  Using tine of fork, pierce the tops of the empanadas to release steam.
