Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

1 Bramley apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1 tsp fresh sage, chopped
½ tsp ground mixed spice
375g ready-made puff pastry
1 egg, beaten

  • 500g good quality sausage meat
  • 1 Bramley apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh sage, chopped
  • ½ tsp ground mixed spice
  • 375g ready-made puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6.
  2. Place the sausage meat in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, apple, cranberries, sage, thyme, nutmeg, and seasoning. Mix well with your hands.
  3. Unroll the pastry sheets and cut each in half.
  4. Divide the sausage mixture into four and shape each portion into a long sausage down the centre of each pastry rectangle.
  5. Brush one edge of the pastry with beaten egg, then fold the pastry over to enclose the filling. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork.
  6. Brush the sausage rolls with more beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  7. Cut each sausage roll into three or four pieces and place on a baking tray.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Serve warm or cold.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, replace the sausage meat with a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, lentils, and walnuts.
  • These sausage rolls can be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.
  • Serve warm with your favorite chutney or mustard.
