I'm not a fan of coconut, but I decided to try these empanadas anyway. I'm so glad I did! The pineapple and coconut filling was surprisingly delicious, and the pastry was flaky and cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again.

These empanadas were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. The pastry was also a bit dry, but overall they were still pretty good.

I made these empanadas for my family and they loved them! The only change I made was to use a store-bought pie crust instead of making my own. They still turned out great.
