Salted Caramel Apple Bites

Ingredients

-1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced into small pieces (about 1 1/4 cup)
-1 teaspoon lemon juice
-1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
-1 teaspoon flour
-8 soft caramel candy squares, chopped into bits
-Salt, approximately 1 teaspoon
-1 tube crescent roll dough (8 ounces)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place diced apple into small bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice. Stir to coat apples. Add sugar, cinnamon and flour and stir until apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

Line baking sheet with parchment to keep melting caramel from sticking during baking. Separate dough into triangles, gently stretching shortest side then cutting each into two roughly even triangles. Place one tablespoon of apple filling in center of each triangle. Top with caramel bits (about half a square) and a pinch or two of salt.

Bring corner of longest side across edge about 2/3 of way and pinch together. Bring opposite corner across then final corner and pinch edges together to create a small pouch. Filling will seem like a lot, but dough will stretch as you pinch together.

Bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden and filling is bubbly. Cool on tray for a couple of minutes for caramel to firm. Serve warm.
