Preheat oven to 375°.
Unroll individual crescent roll dough pieces and lay them in individual tins. Put the widest bit of the dough in the bottom.
Using mixer, thoroughly mix cream cheese with sugar and lemon juice. Spoon a dollop of cream cheese mixture in center of dough.
Spoon a dollop of pie filling over each cream cheese mixture. If using apple pie filling, sprinkle with cinnamon.
Add optional nuts.
Begin wrapping the dough around the filling, ensuring to enclose the three corners; don't worry about small gaps—they're perfectly fine. The filling doesn't need complete coverage, as the dough will puff up during baking.
Mix egg in a small bowl and brush evenly over dough.
Bake for 13-20 minutes until golden brown. (They should be fairly firm to the touch and have nice, tan-brown tops.)
Enjoy!
