Chorizo and Apple Sausage Rolls

Makes 12

Ingredients
small knob of butter
1 small eating apple, peeled and finely diced
6 chorizo style sausages
small handful parsley, chopped
375g pack puff pastry
3 tbsp apple sauce
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions
1. Put the butter and apple in a small plan and cook for 5 minutes until the apple has softened, then cool.
2. Remove the sausage skins and put the meat in a bowl. Add the cooled apple and the parsley, and mash together with a fork, or your hands.
3. Heat the oven to 200c/180c fan. Roll out the pastry to a rectangle, roughly 32cm x 20cm. Cut in half, so that there are 2 long thin rectangles. Spoon the apple sauce down the centre of each piece of pastry. Shape the chorizo mixture in to 2 long sausages and put on top of the apple sauce. Brush the edges of the pastry with a little beaten egg, then bring the pastry together on one side to enclose the filling. Seal by pressing the pastry with a fork.
4. Cut the sausage rolls into smaller pieces, each about 7cm long, and arrange on 2 baking trays. Brush with egg then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cut small slashes into each roll.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, changing the trays over halfway through the cooking time.
