**Apple Pie On A Stick**
**Ingredients:**
– 4 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 package of store-bought pie crust (or homemade if preferred)
– 4 wooden skewers
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the apples thoroughly. Insert a wooden skewer into the stem end of each apple. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Mix well to create the apple pie filling.
4. Peel, core, and finely chop one of the apples. Add it to the sugar and spice mixture and stir until the chopped apple is well coated.
5. Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the pie crust into 1-inch strips.
6. Take one apple on a skewer and gently wrap a pie crust strip around it in a spiral fashion, slightly overlapping the edges. Continue wrapping until the entire apple is covered. Repeat with the remaining apples.
7. Place the wrapped apples on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each apple with the beaten egg to create a golden crust.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired for an extra indulgent touch.
