Jersey Apple and Thyme Sausage Rolls with Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/ Gas Mark 6). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage meat, grated Jersey apple, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a rectangle approximately 30cm x 20cm.

Spread the sausage meat mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1cm border along one long edge.

Brush the border with the beaten egg. Carefully roll the pastry up tightly, starting from the opposite long edge. Press the egg-washed edge firmly to seal.

Using a sharp knife, cut the sausage roll into 8 equal pieces.

Place the sausage rolls onto the prepared baking tray, seam-side down.

Brush the top of each sausage roll with the remaining beaten egg.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the sausage meat is cooked through.

Let the sausage rolls cool slightly on the baking tray before serving.
