Pumpkin Empanadas
"Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Empanadas are simultaneously simple and entirely unexpected. We expect savory and maybe even a bit spicy in an empanada – we just never expected dessert. In fact, the flaky pastry exterior is the most traditional component of this iteration. Inside is a slightly sweet pumpkin filling, subtly spiced with the likes of clove, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice, and balanced by creamy coconut milk (they don’t taste like coconut). It’s like a pumpkin pie you can hold in your hand, but with slightly less “pumpkin pie spice” than usual; the sweet pumpkin flavor really shines here."
