Slightly press flat with the palm of your hand and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill at least one hour.Once dough has chilled, set it on a floured surface and roll it out to about 10 x 1

Cut into sixten even squares.

Lay the dough squares on a parchment paper covered baking sheet and set in the freezer to chill.In a separate bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice, maple syrup, spices and brown sugar. Make sure to cover all of the apple pieces.Take dough out of freezer. Drop about 1 tablespoon of filling into the center of each piece of dough. Fold one pointed edge towards its opposite corner to form a triangle. Crimp edges with a fork along the seams. Repeat with all of the dough.

Brush a little milk over the top of each turnover and sprinkle with extra sugar if desired. (Pop back into the freezer for a quick chill if the dough is soft.).
