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 pinch salt
- 6 tbsp cold water
- 1 Egg to brush over pastry
For the filling
- 300 g Pork sausages
- 1 Onion
- 1 Carrot
- 100 g Butternut squash
- 1 Small apple
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
For the pastry
- 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.
For the filling
- 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
