• ½ cup flour(for rolling out dough)
• ½ cup caramel sauce

• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon oil
Directions:
Cut butter into 1/2 inch cubes
In a small mixing bowl add flour and salt and mix well. Add in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
Slowly add water, mixing continuously, until a dough ball is formed.
Cover tightly place in the refrigerator overnight.
Sprinkle countertop or cutting board generously with flour.
Roll dough out and then cut the dough into 5- to 6-inch circles.

Lightly moisten the edges of the dough with water. Fold the dough in half creating a half moon with filling. Gently press the pie edges together and crimp them with a fork.

Place pies to the grill and cook over direct heat, uncovered, for 3 minutes on each side or until the dough turns a crispy golden brown. Remove from the grill and serve.
