1. Place filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss until well combined. Cut chilled dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll into equal rectangles about 1/4 inch thick. Onto one of the rectangles, place spoonfuls of filling (about 2 tablespoons each) in rows 1/2 inch apart. Place pies in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.

2. To make the egg wash, whisk together egg and heavy cream. Using a pastry brush, carefully brush egg wash onto dough between the rows of filling. Gently lay the second dough rectangle over top and press around each mound of filling. Cut 3-by-1-inch rectangles with a pizza cutter and press the back of a fork along the edges to seal.
