Unroll one dough sheet onto a floured work surface. Pulling on the sides of dough to straighten rounded edges, roll it into an approximate 12-inch square; cut dough into four 6-inch squares and brush the perimeter of each square with egg white. Set apple halves on each square. Bring up 4 corners of dough around apple and pinch edges to seal. Place in prepared baking dish. Brush dumpling tops and sides with egg white; sprinkle with white sugar. Repeat process with remaining apples and dough.
