Ingredients

• 1 medium ripe banana, (about 7 oz)
• 1  teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon(s) cayenne
• 2  (refrigerated rolled) pie crusts
• 1/2 cup(s) bittersweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mash the banana with the cinnamon and cayenne.
2. Unfold crusts, one at a time. Using a 3-in. round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out 9 circles from each pie crust.
3. Divide the banana mixture and chocolate chips (about 3 chips each) among the circles. Brush the edges with some of the egg, fold in half, and press with a fork to seal.
4. Transfer the empanadas to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the egg and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
