1. 1Start dough by whisking dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl.
2. 2Add butter and incorporate with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs develop.
3. 3Add cream cheese and incorporate well. Plop in egg yolk and stir with a fork until dough comes together into a ball. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a uniform ball.
4. 4Slightly 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
5. 5Cut into sixten even squares.
6. 6Lay 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.
7. 7Make 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.
8. 8Fold 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.
9. 9Brush 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.).
10. 10Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20 minutes or until browned.
