• Cut 18 of the caramels into quarters.

• Toss one piece of the dough in the flour and flatten and stretch it in a manner similar to a mini-pizza, stretching it about 3-inches across.
• Repeat with all of the dough pieces.
• Reserve 1/4 cup of the apple mixture.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining apple mixture and 6 pieces of the cut caramel to each dough piece and pull the edges of the dough together to form a ball.
• Place the dough balls in the prepared dish.
• Brush the dough balls with the melted butter and sprinkle them with the brown sugar and the reserved apple mixture.
• Bake the dough balls until the tops are golden brown and the pies are no longer doughy, about 30-35 minutes.
• Place the remaining caramels and the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring every 30 seconds.
• Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly, then drizzle it over the pie balls.
• Serve.
