On a lightly floured surface, roll one disk of dough out to 1/4-inch thick. Use a 3 1/2- 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut out circles; re-roll scraps up to two times. Repeat with remaining disk of dough. Transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for 10 minutes.

Cut 3 slits in the center of half of the circles for steam vents. These will be the tops. Spoon 1 tablespoon of apple filling in the center of the pie bottoms, leaving 1/2 inch border empty. Top with a teaspoon of cold Salted Caramel sauce. Brush edge with egg wash, lay a vented circle on top and gently press the edges together. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Repeat with remaining pies. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Use a knife to make sure the vents are open. Freeze for at least 20 minutes.
