The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more salt to the caramel sauce. I found it to be a bit too sweet.

These were so easy to make and they were a huge hit with my family! I used Granny Smith apples and they were tart and tangy, which complemented the sweetness of the caramel perfectly.

Just made these and they turned out perfectly! The filling was sweet and gooey, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again.
