Add apple pie filling and caramels to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the caramels are melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Unroll each pie crust and, using a large coffee mug, cut out 5 circles per pie crust so you end up with 20 circles of dough.

Place a tablespoon of apple caramel filling into the middle of each dough round.

Carefully fold over the circle and pinch the edges together to seal.

Melt the butter and brush onto each empanada.

Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the empanadas.

Working in batches, place the empanadas in the air fryer and air fry for 10 minutes at 330°F. Repeat with other batches.
