Cook the apples, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon over medium heat for 6 minutes until tender.

Stir the cornstarch with water, add it to the apples and cook for 1 minute until thick, then cool completely.

Cut eight 5-inch circles from the pie crusts.

Place apple filling and 2 teaspoons caramel on each circle, fold and crimp the edges firmly.

Brush with beaten egg and bake at 400°F for 18 to 22 minutes until golden and 160°F in the center.

Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
