These were delish!! Love apple and pork as a combo. Will def be making again and popping into lunchboxes. I added a little bit of feta to the mix too as I had some in the fridge that needed to be used. I just wish Careme Pastry wasn’t so expensive. I need to have a go at making my own puff pastry. Thx for another fab recipe Georgia.

A little side note. The tomato relish looks yummy. Is that homemade? It’s tomato season here.

Recipe looks delish. If I use puff pastry to make the sausage rolls, it would no longer be dairy free?
Georgia Harding says
I’m pretty sure there are DF puff-pastries available (unfortunately they are made with vegetable oil rather than butter). Otherwise the filling makes great patties or meatballs too G x
