These caramelized apple and red onion vegan sausage rolls combine puff pastry, spiced sausage, and sweet apples for an easy festive bake. Perfect for parties or holiday snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegan spread or olive oil
- 1-2 JAZZ apples cored and finely diced
- 2 medium red onions diced
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp fennel seeds crushed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 vegan sausages
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
- 1 tbsp unsweetened soy milk for brushing
- Poppy seeds optional
- Dijon or English mustard for dipping
- If using frozen sausages thaw them first, and if they are in casings, peel these off before using.
Instructions
- Heat the vegan spread or oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat, and once hot, add the apple, onion, brown sugar, and fennel seeds. Stir together and sauté for 15-20 minutes until nicely caramelized, then remove the pan from the heat.
- Once the sausages are thawed, crumble them into the pan with the caramelized mixture and stir everything together well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/180 fan/gas 6. Remove the puff pastry from its packaging and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice the pastry in half lengthwise, then add half of the sausage mixture to each piece and shape it into a long cylinder, leaving a 1cm edge.
- Tightly roll the pastry around the sausage mixture, pinching the two sides of the pastry together or pressing down with a fork for a tighter seal.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each roll into 10-12 pieces (about 2.5cm wide), and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each piece all over with soy milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds (optional). Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed up. Remove from the oven and serve hot or cold, with mustard for dipping.
