Peel, core and dice apples into tiny pieces.
Add apple, dry ingredients and 1 tablespoon of caramel to the mixture. Mix until well combined.
Lay out 16 rounds of pie crust on a parchment lined baking sheet.
In a small bowl whisk egg and water together. Using a brush, brush egg mixture on the edges of the pie crust. Spoon 1 tablespoon of apple mix into the center of each pie round. Top with another pie crust round. Gently press and seal the edges using a fork. Repeat until all rounds are full.

Tips
You can use any type of apple you prefer for these pies. A mix of sweet/tart is delicious. I normally use Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, but Fuji, Gala, or Jazz would be great options as well.
Feel free to use whatever size cookie cutter you have on hand. Or if you don’t have a circle cutter, use a sharp knife around a cup. Just be aware that baking times might need adjusting.
