Description
Indulgent bite-sized pastries filled with sweet and tart apples, drizzled with caramel and wrapped in flaky pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups diced apples, preferably a mix of sweet and tart varieties such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp
- ½ cup caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten, for egg wash
- Sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the diced apples, caramel sauce, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl. Toss until the apples are coated.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut into squares of about 3 inches each.
- Place a tablespoon of the filling in the center of each square.
- Fold the corners of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and form a tight pouch.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
