Everyone is always sad that Taco Bell discontinues the Caramel Apple Empanadas so I decided to recreate them using the air fryer! Apple pie filling, caramels and pie crust make these empanadas easy and delicious. They get brushed with butter and cinnamon sugar before air frying to crispy perfection.
