Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F; line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Saute sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat until brown, 3-4 minutes. Add the apple and pecans, then deglaze with sherry, cooking until nearly evaporated, about 2 minutes. Season the mixture; chill while preparing the dough.
Beat the egg and water together for the egg wash; set aside. Roll the pastry sheet out on a floured work surface to a 13" square. With a pizza wheel, cut the pastry into 8 triangles as if cutting a pizza.
Fill each triangle with a heaping tablespoon of chilled sausage mixture. Brush edges with egg wash, fold in half to enclose filling, and crimp edges closed with a fork. Place empanadas on the prepared baking sheet, brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika and bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
