Savory Pork and Apple Sausage Rolls
The Savory Pork and Apple Sausage Rolls carry an air of British charm with their harmonious blend of seasoned pork and sweet, tart apple wrapped in crispy, golden pastry. Perfect for a light meal or an elegant appetizer, they embody the comfort of traditional flavors with a contemporary twist.
Ingredients
Sausage Filling
- 500 grams pork sausage meat - preferably from free-range pork
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored, and finely grated
1 tablespoon sage - fresh, finely chopped
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper - freshly ground
Pastry
- 2 sheets puff pastry - store-bought, thawed if frozen
1 small egg - lightly beaten, for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the pork sausage meat, grated apple, fresh sage, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Roll out your puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet in half lengthwise to form 4 equal rectangles.
- Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the rectangles, forming a log shape along one edge of each pastry sheet.
- Brush the opposite edge of each rectangle with the beaten egg. Roll the pastry over the sausage filling, sealing the edges together to form a roll.
- Cut each roll into 4 equal pieces and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking tray.
- Brush the top of each roll with the remaining egg wash for a golden glaze.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Notes
For an added touch of warmth, try mixing a pinch of cinnamon into the sausage mixture. Substitute pork with chicken or turkey for a leaner version. Serve with a side of grainy mustard or a simple apple chutney for added depth.
