Press "Pulse" 10-12 times until all flour is incorporated. Press the dough together to form a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Roll out into 12 equal discs. 

Add peaches, sugar and cinnamon to clean WildSide jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 3-4 times until peaches are roughly chopped. Add peach mixture to medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer 10-15 minutes until mixture thickens. 

Add 2 tbsp of peaches to rolled out empanada dough, fold over, and pinch the edges. Bake at 325°F for 15-20 minutes. For a glossy finish, brush tops of empanadas with egg whites before baking.
