Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 sheets refrigerated pie crust
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
  • 2 medium tart apples
  • Caramel sauce, optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; reserve 1 tablespoon. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pie crusts; roll and trim each to an 8-in. square. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture. Cut each square into eight 1-in. strips.
  2. Peel and cut each apple into 8 wedges; wrap 1 strip of pastry around each wedge, placing sugared side of pastry against the apple.
  3. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining butter; sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture. Bake 13-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve warm, with caramel sauce if desired.
