Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine apples, 3 tablespoons water, and lemon juice. Bring just to boiling. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 5 minutes or until apples are tender.

Fold dough in half over filling. Seal by pressing with tines of a fork. Flute edges, if desired. Cut slits in top. Brush with milk; sprinkle with the granulated sugar.

Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden. Serve warm or cool. Cut into wedges to serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Makes 3 to 5 servings.
