Banana Caramel Dessert Empanadas

Ingredients:

-1 package (15 oz.) refrigerated pie crusts

-2 bananas, finely chopped

-1/4 cup caramel sauce

-1 cup heavy cream

-Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple food coloring

Directions:

-Line a 18x13x1-inch baking pan with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.

-Cut 10, 4-inch circular disks out of the pre-packaged pie dough.

-Spoon bananas onto one side of each dough disk. Drizzle about a teaspoon of caramel on top. Brush the inner edges with heavy cream, and then fold the dough over into half-moon shape. Crimp and flute edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining dough.

-Transfer to parchment lined pan.

-Divide remaining heavy cream into 7 small prep bowls. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of cream into each bowl. Use food coloring to dye each of the creams into red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

-Use a small paintbrush to paint the colored cream wash onto each of the empanadas in a rainbow pattern. Repeat with a second coat if necessary. Transfer to freezer for 15 minutes.

-Preheat the oven to 350° and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until crust is golden.

-Cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
