I am making homemade apple turnovers. Once I make and fill the turnovers it requires one egg beaten with a pinch of salt to make an egg wash. I am supposed to use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash on the outside of the dough (once filled.) I don't have any eggs is there any other substitute that I could use instead of an egg? or is it a step I can skip?
Please help, I have to make this for a get together tonight.

You can use milk, melted butter, or even water. it just makes them shiny and pretty brown on top. You won't really miss it if you leave it out.

Milk is a good substitute, also try sprinkling some granulated sugar on top of the wash.

the egg wash is to give the pastry that golden brown look. You can skip that step but the pastry will be lighter in color.

You can leave it off, it just won't have the pretty shiny glazed looking top. You can use melted butter instead.
