Puff Pastry Rolls with Sausage, Apple and Thyme
Flaky puff pastry encloses a filling of sausage, apple, and thyme for a hearty snack. Golden, crisp, and savoury, these rolls are perfect for parties, gatherings, or as a comforting addition to family meals.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry 320g
- 300 g pork sausage meat good-quality
- 1 apple small, peeled, cored, and finely diced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 onion small, finely chopped
- 1 egg beaten (for glazing)
- Sea salt
- Black pepper Freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Line a tray with parchment.
- Mix sausage meat with diced apple, onion, thyme, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Unroll the puff pastry and cut lengthways into two strips. Place half the filling down the centre of each strip.
- Fold the pastry over the filling and seal the edges with a fork. Brush with beaten egg. Slice into rolls about 4–5cm long and arrange on the tray.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Choose sausage meat with a high pork content — it gives the best texture and flavour. If you can’t find plain sausage meat, remove the skins from good butchers’ sausages.
A firm apple, like Granny Smith or Braeburn, works best. It holds shape during baking and balances the richness without turning mushy.
