Ingredients
- 4 cups peeled diced apples (about 1/4")
- 2 tbls flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (I use Trader Joe's)
- 1 egg
- caramel sauce
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and then line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper
In a medium bowl add the diced apples and toss with the flour then stir in the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg - set aside
On a floured cutting board, roll out the pre-made dough until it is about 1/8" thick
Using a 3" round biscuit cutter, cut 16 circles from each big circle; reuse dough and roll out again as needed. (The crust from Trader Joe's is larger than other brands on the market so the number of circles you get could vary)
Place about 2-3 tablespoons of the apple mixture on the center of 16 circles then if desired add about 1/2 tsp of caramel sauce on top.
Place the remaining dough on top. Pinch to seal then press a fork around the entire edge
Make an egg wash by slightly beating one egg with 1 tbl of water; brush tops then cut 2 or 3 slits onto dough
Place on cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown and apples are tender
Cool on wire racks
