Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the sugar forms a syrup. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 4

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you 8 squares total.

Step 5

Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the caramel apple filling into the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 6

Fold the corners of each square toward the center, pinching the edges together to seal and form a dumpling. Place the dumplings on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side up.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to make an egg wash. Brush the top of each dumpling with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm dumplings with caramel sauce before serving.
