Ingredients
- 2 large apples, peeled and diced
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Coarse sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix diced apples, caramel sauce, lemon juice, and cinnamon until evenly coated.
- Roll out one pie crust on a clean surface and cut into roughly 4×4-inch squares.
- Place a spoonful of apple mixture in the center of each square, avoiding overfilling.
- Fold the corners toward the center and crimp seams tightly to seal.
- Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Place on prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before serving to allow the caramel to set.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balance against the caramel’s sweetness.
- Seal edges well to avoid leaks during baking.
- Chop apples finely for easier filling and better structure.
- Drain excess liquid from filling if made ahead of time.
- For crispier bottoms, don’t overfill and space evenly on baking sheet.
