Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 boxes refrigerated pie crusts 15 oz each, 4 crusts total
- 1 can apple pie filling 21 oz can
- 1 bag Kraft caramels 11 oz bag, individually wrapped
- 0.25 cup butter melted
- 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 (about 4-inch diameter), 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 the empanadas.
- Melt the butter and brush it gently onto the top of each empanada.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle generously over the empanadas.
- Working in batches, place the empanadas in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 10 minutes at 330℉, or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining empanadas.
Notes
Let empanadas cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their crispy exterior. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes for best results.
