Little Grazers Caramelized Onion and Apple Sausage Rolls - baby led weaning, fussy eaters, kids meals, family meals, finger foods

 

My kids love sausages, I get some awesome ones from a local butcher, but I will occasionally make my own little patties too. Like these delicious Sausage Patties – yum!! Back in the UK Sausage rolls are hugely popular and generally kids love them, but the majority of the time all kind of ingredients and fillers can go into the sausage meat. I wanted to have a go at making some myself, as I figured they would be great in the kids lunch boxes.

For the sausage meat I decided to make a caramelized onion and apple mix. Once cooked I pureed it and mixed it into the ground pork as my eldest is a bit fussy about onions. If your kids will eat onions, no problem, then you can leave them finely chopped as cooked. Then it was just a case of adding it to the pastry sheet, slicing to desired size and baking in the oven. These were such a huge hit as expected. Infact my eldest ate 6 in a row and said “Mum, these are sooooo good”

    They look yummy!! Should the puff pastry
    be defrosted first?

      yes it needs to be defrosted but should be still chilled so it’s a little firm.
