- Place 2 tablespoons caramel apple filling on one half of each dough round, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the filling. Brush border with water; fold dough over filling to enclose completely. Press edges to seal, then press to crimp with hands. Chill finished pastries in freezer for 10 minutes before cooking.
