How to Make Caramel Apple Empanadas

Step-by-Step

Spray counter lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Flatten each roll into a 4-5 inch circle. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest while preparing filling.
In a medium bowl, combine caramels, flour, apples, pecans, ice cream topping and lemon juice.
Remove wrap from dough and place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on each dough circle. Brush edges of dough with milk and fold in half. Seal edges with a fork.
Place on a sprayed baking sheet and bake at 350°F 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar or powdered sugar, if desired
