Sausage and Apple pasties
A moreish, hearty meal for those on the go. This was one of my favourite bakes – simple to make, full of flavour and great for when you’re out and about. You can use readymade shortcrust pastry instead of making your own if you wish.
Ingredients
- For the pastry
- 250 g Butter
- 500 g Plain flour
- 1 Egg
- For the filling
- 300 g Pork sausages
- 1 Onion
- 1 Carrot
- 100 g Butternut squash
- 1 Small apple
- Salt & pepper
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Dice the butter and rub into the flour with a pinch of salt using your fingertips, then blend in 6 tbsp cold water to make a firm dough. Cut equally into 6, then chill for 20 mins.
- Preheat oven to 180ºC/350ºF/ Gas Mark 4. Make a slit into each sausage and remove the meat. Place into a large bowl with the onion, carrot, butternut squash, apple and seasoning. Combine together.
- Roll out the pastry and use a bowl to cut it into rounds of about 15cm in diameter.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the whisked egg. Place a spoonful of the mixture into the centre and lift each side of the pastry to contain it.
- Press the edges together to seal at the top and pinch the pastry to make a crimp pattern. Repeat, making about 6 large pasties.
- Place on a non-stick tray and brush the edges (not the crimp as this will burn too quickly) with beaten egg.
- Cook in a preheated oven for about 40- 45 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving
