About Pineapple empanada

A Pineapple Empanada is a sweet and flaky pastry popular in Latin American cuisine, particularly in Mexico. This dessert features a golden, buttery crust filled with a luscious pineapple jam made from fresh or canned pineapple, sugar, and sometimes warming spices like cinnamon. Empanadas are typically baked or fried, giving them a delightful texture that pairs perfectly with their vibrant filling. While Pineapple Empanadas offer a source of carbohydrates and natural sweetness from the fruit, they are also high in sugar and fat depending on the filling and preparation method. Moderation is key to enjoying this tropical treat as part of a balanced diet. Their origin highlights a fusion of Old World baking techniques and the rich flavors of locally available ingredients, making them a cherished staple at family gatherings and special occasions.
