-
For the Filling, melt butter in small saucepan on medium heat. Add apple to pan and cover. Cook, stirring often, until apple begins to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and continue to cook until apples are very soft. Remove from heat and let chill.
-
For the pierogi dough whisk flour, baking powder and salt in bowl of stand mixer. Add sour cream, egg and egg yolk. Using dough hook knead on medium-high speed for 8 minutes (dough should be elastic). Transfer to floured bowl, cover and chill.
-
Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with flour. Roll dough on lightly floured counter into 18-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter cut 20 to 24 circles. Place 1 tablespoon of cooled apple filling in center of each cut circle and fold dough to make half-moon shape. Pinch edges firmly to seal. Transfer to prepared sheet.

Bring saucepan of water to boil on medium high heat. Add pierogis to water and cook until floating, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove from water. Drain well.
-
To Serve, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in large skillet on medium heat. Add about half of the pierogies, arranging in single layer in pan. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly browned and crispy. Repeat with remaining butter and pierogies. Serve warm with caramel sauce, if desired.
Test Kitchen Tip: Toss sauteed pierogies with cinnamon sugar or your favorite McCormick Finishing Sugar before serving.
