Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a medium saucepan, combine shredded apples, brown sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

Cook the mixture over medium heat until thickened, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and cool completely.

Divide the pie dough into 8 equal parts.

Roll out each piece into 5-inch (12cm) disks.

Once the apple filling is completely cooled, divide it into 8 equal parts.

Place the filling on each pie crust and fold it over, creating a half-moon shaped pies.

Using a fork, press the edges of the pies.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or silicone mat. (At this point, you can go ahead and freeze them.)

Brush heavy cream on each pie. And sprinkle some brown sugar, if desired.

And then make 3 cuts on top with a sharp knife for the steam to escape.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.( The frozen turnovers should be baked for 25-30 minutes.)

Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
