   Divide dough into 8 equal pieces; roll into 5-inch circles on a lightly floured surface. Using a 1/2-inch cutter, cut out 5 shapes on one half of each dough circle; set cut dough aside. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling onto uncut half of dough circle. Fold cut side of dough over filling; crimp edges with a fork to seal. Place dough cutouts on top of each pie. Lightly brush tops of pies with egg white; sprinkle with granulated sugar. Place pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 425u00b0 for 20 minutes or until browned.
