My husband and I made these as part of our Tamalada Party for Cinco de Mayo. We drizzled ours with caramel sauce. The combination of banana and caramel is scrumptious!

Ingredients:
- Cooking spray
- 3 cups sliced bananas
- 2 tbsp light or dark brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crusts
- Ice cream, powdered sugar or caramel sauce if desired
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine bananas, sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- Unroll pie crusts onto a flat surface.
- Using a ring mold, make circles in the dough. Put the banana mixture on the pie dough and place another round on top. Pinch around the edges of each section to seal.
- Transfer the empanadas to the prepared baking sheet and make slits in the top of each to allow steam to escape.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake until crust is golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
