Tasty bite-sized pork sausage rolls with apple and sage – make extra because these will disappear fast!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry (I box), thawed (see note)
  • 1 pound pork sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 cup finely diced granny smith apple (about 1/2 an apple)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon 2% milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the pork with the herbs, salt and pepper, and diced apple. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together.
  3. Unfold both puff pastry sheets and cut each into thirds (follow the perforations). Divide the pork mixture into 6 equal parts. Roll the divided pork into ropes equal to the length of the puff pastry strip. Lay each sausage in the middle of each puff pastry strip.
  4. Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg and milk mixture. Wrap the puff pastry around the sausage. Lightly press the seams to seal. Brush the top of each roll with the egg and milk mixture.
  5. Cut each roll in half, then each half in half, then each quarter in half until you have 8 equal pieces per roll.
  6. Place the sausage rolls seam-side down about an inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown on top.

Notes

For the best results, the puff pastry should be thawed but still cold when you make the rolls. If your pastry is too warm, it won’t puff up well when you bake the rolls. So plan ahead and thaw the pastry in the refrigerator and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. If it warms up when you’re working with it, you can pop it back in the fridge to chill it.

You can make the sausage rolls a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. Store them in a single layer so they don’t stick to each other. You may need to add a couple of minutes of baking time when you bake them cold from the refrigerator.

Baked sausage rolls will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
