Ingredients

320 g ready rolled puff pastry (1 pack)

400 g pork sausages (6 sausages)

100 g apple sauce

20 g dried apples

1 tsp dried thyme

¼ tsp sea salt

1 egg (beaten)

To finish

1 tsp sesame seeds

½ tsp dried thyme

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan assisted, 210°C non fan) and line a baking tray or spray with oil

Remove the casings from 400g pork sausages and add them to a large bowl along with 100g apple sauce, 20g dried apple, 1 tsp dried thyme and ¼ tsp sea salt

Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly dispersed

Cut the pastry in half lengthways so you have two long thin strips

Divide the sausage mix in two and make a line of sausage meat in the centre of each strip of pastry

Brush one of the long edges of pastry with 1 beaten egg. Roll the long side of pastry closest to you tightly under the sausage and then keep rolling so the sealed edge is on the bottom

Press down on the seam of the pastry to make sure it is completely sealed

Cut the sausage rolls into lengths as big or small as you like and put them on the baking tray

Brush the sausage rolls with beaten egg and make a few cuts with scissors across the top

Mix together 1 tsp sesame seeds and ½ tsp dried thyme and sprinkle on top of the sausage rolls

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden brown
