Instructions
- Beat butter and cream cheese together in a bowl; stir in flour until dough comes together and forms a ball. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
- Combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook, stirring frequently, until the consistency of chunky applesauce, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator; sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Arrange empanadas on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until dough is golden, about 15 minutes.
