Preheat oven to 375. Roll out half of dough on lightly floured pastry cloth or board to 1/8" thickness. Cut with top of glass or biscuit cutter into 3" rounds. Spoon 1/2 ts fruit spread onto center of each dough circle. Beat egg with water; lightly brush onto edges of dough circles. Bring three edges of dough up over fruit spread; pinch edges together to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheets; brush with egg mixture. Pepeat with remaining dough and fruit spread.
