Bring up edges of the dough and overlap at the top to completely cover the apple. Press the edges together slightly to seal. Cut a slit through the dough on top to allow the steam to escape while baking. Arrange the apple dumplings in a shallow baking dish. Brush the tops with 1 slightly beaten egg white and sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Bake in a preheated oven at 400º for 20 minutes. Lower heat to 350º and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is a light golden brown color.
