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. Cut each apple into 8 wedges; wrap 1 strip of pastry around each wedge, placing sugared side of pastry against the apple.
