# Instrucciones:
01 - In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg with vinegar and water, then mix into flour until a dough forms. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
02 - In a saucepan, combine apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Simmer over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, stirring often, until apples are soft and jammy. Mash slightly. Let cool.
03 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
04 - Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Cut into 3-inch (8 cm) rounds. Place 1 teaspoon of apple jam in the center of each round. Fold over into a half-moon shape and seal edges with a fork.
05 - Brush the empanadas with egg wash. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
06 - Cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
