Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

  4. Cut dough into 4 squares.
  5. Combine caramel, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium sauce pan.
  6. Stirring constantly, cook on medium high heat until caramel is melted. Remove from heat.
  7. Place 1 apple on each dough square. Fill evenly with caramel mixture.
  8. Bring 4 corners of dough to top of each apple and pinch together all seams. Cut off any excess dough.
