Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boxes refrigerated pie crusts (15 oz boxes, 4 pie crusts total)
  • 1 can apple pie filling (21oz can)
  • 1 bag Kraft caramels (11oz bag)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Add apple pie filling and caramels to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir together until the caramels are melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Unroll each pie crust and using a large coffee mug, cut out 5 circles per pie crust so you end up with 20 circles of dough.
  • Place a tablespoon of apple caramel filling into the middle of each dough round.
  • Carefully fold over the circle and pinch the edges together to seal.
  • Melt the butter and brush onto each empanada.
  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the empanadas.
  • Working in batches, place the empanadas in the air fryer and air fry for 10 minutes at 330℉. Repeat with other batches.

Notes

Let them cool completely before storing to maintain crispiness.
