   Before you use this dough, be sure you chill it well at least 2 hours or even overnight.
4. 4
   To make turnovers: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the pie filling into the center of each square and fold over to form a triangle. Pinch the seams to seal or press with the tines of a fork. Place at least 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Brush with egg white.
5. 5
   Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown on the tops and bottom.
