Instructions
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll each pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles from each crust, re-rolling scraps as needed. Place circles 3-inches apart on prepared baking sheets and refrigerate while preparing filling.
- Mix apples, butter and Salted Caramel Sugar in large skillet. Cook on medium-high heat until mixture bubbles, about 5 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in small bowl; add to apple mixture. Stir just until thickened. Remove from heat. Cool 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Place heaping tablespoons of filling in center of each dough circle. Fold dough over to enclose filling, pressing edges to seal and create a half-moon shape. Crimp edges with a fork to seal completely. Use a small sharp knife to cut two small slits in each pie. Brush with egg and sprinkle with additional Salted Caramel Sugar. Place pans in freezer 10 minutes.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until crusts are crispy and lightly browned and filling is bubbly. Remove from oven and cool on pans 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
