In skillet, melt butter over medium-heat. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, ginger and cloves; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

Egg Wash: Whisk egg yolk with water; set aside.
On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch (3 mm) thickness. Using 3-1/2-inch (9 cm) round cutter, cut out circles. Place about 1 tbsp filling onto half of each circle. Brush edge of dough with egg wash and fold over, sealing edge with fork.
