Air Fryer Recipes
Caramel Apple Empanadas
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) boxes refrigerated pie crusts (4 crusts total)
- 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
- 11 ounces caramels, unwrapped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
- Add the apple pie filling and caramels to a medium size saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll each pie crust and use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut out 5 circles per pie crust for 20 total.
- Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the filling into the middle of each dough round.
- Carefully fold over the circle and pinch the edges together to seal.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and brush onto each empanada.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over each empanada.
- In batches, place the empanadas into the basket of an air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 330 degrees F. Don't overcrowd. Watch closely so that they don't burn.
- Repeat with remaining batches.
Notes
You can bake these in a 350 degrees F preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
