If You Can Turn On Your Waffle Maker, You Can Bake These Little Apple Treats!

To mix things up a bit, the next time the girls got together I made sure to have blueberry filling as well as apple filling. OHH the choices! They felt so fancy and we ended up serving them on little china plates that had been my great grandmothers.  Instead of tea, I made up some hot cocoa. I heard one of the little girls pip up after taking another bite of her hand pie, “You know, we should do this more often!”

Now that the girls are all in college, I miss those little moments.

 

Waffle Iron Caramel Apple Pies

 

Ingredients

• 2 premade pie crusts should be 2 in one box, unrolled
• 1 small can apple pie filling you need about 1/2 cup total
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp milk + additional if needed
• 4 tsp caramel sauce

Instructions

• 1. Heat a belgian waffle iron, set aside.
  2. Using a small bowl (about 4 inches across the top), cut out 4 circles from each crust (8 total)
  3.  Place about 2 TBS apple filling in the center of 4 circles.
  4.  Place remaining dough circles over the top of the apple filling. Using your fingers, pinch the outside close, then use a fork to really secure the outside shut (you don’t want a waffle iron full of apple filling!).
  5.  One at a time, cook each pie in the waffle iron. Check for done-ness – the dough needs to be cooked -about 5 minutes per pie.
  6. Remove from iron and repeat with remaining pies.
  7. In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar and milk until completely combined. Add more milk if you need to thin the glaze, but careful not to add too much as you want it a little thick.
  8. Serve each pie with glaze and caramel drizzled over the tops. Serve warm!

 

Quick Tip- If you want to make your own pie crust feel free! One box of a double pie crust yields 4 small pies.
