Inside this Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Empanadas is a slightly sweet pumpkin filling, subtly spiced with the likes of clove, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice, and balanced by creamy coconut milk. Imagine serving these at Thanksgiving dinner with some whipped cream on top!
Did you know that empanadas were actually baked for miners? That’s right. Hot pies were baked for miners, so they could eat something, with a crust, inside a mine shaft. Grab it by the crust and leave all that dirt on it. There’s nothing better than a meal with a bit of historical background. Well, Trader Joe’s pumpkin empanadas shift the gears on that age-old culinary treat and gives you a holiday favorite that will have strangers coming out of the ground just to have one.
