Top with apple mixture (about 3 tablespoons each), leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Lightly brush borders with beaten egg.

4. Cut remaining dough into 16 3- by 5-inch rectangles. Place on top of apple mixture. Press edges with a fork to seal and cut a few small slits in the top of each. Brush tops with remaining egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake, until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes.
