Ingredients
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- No sage → use thyme or rosemary instead
- No apple → try pear or skip for a fully savory roll
- No puff pastry → use refrigerated crescent dough
- Want extra richness → mix in a spoon of grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 190°C / 375°F for 2–3 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine ground pork, grated apple, sage, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and mustard if using.
- Mix gently until the filling looks evenly combined.
- Tip: Don’t overmix — keeping it light makes the filling juicier.
- Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into 6 even rectangles.
- Spoon a line of filling down the center of each piece.
- Roll the pastry up snugly, sealing the edge with a little beaten egg.
- Brush the tops with more egg so they turn glossy and golden.
- Place the rolls in the air fryer basket with space between them.
- Air fry for 12–14 minutes, until puffed, crisp, and deep golden.
- Tip: If they brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly for the last few minutes.
- Let the rolls rest for 3 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm while the pastry is still flaky.
- Enjoy as a snack, lunchbox bite, or quick dinner side.
Common Mistakes
- Overfilling the pastry → makes sealing difficult and can leak
- Crowding the air fryer basket → pastry won’t crisp properly
- Skipping the resting time → filling stays too hot inside
FAQ
Can I use store-bought sausage meat instead of ground pork?
Yes, sausage meat works perfectly and saves time.
Do I need to peel the apple?
Peeling helps keep the filling smooth, but it’s optional.
Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes, freeze before cooking, then air fry straight from frozen with extra time.
How do I keep the pastry crispy?
Let them cool slightly on a rack and avoid stacking while hot.
Storage Tips
Store leftover rolls in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes to bring back the crisp pastry.
I love making these when I want something cozy and homemade but don’t have time to turn on the oven.
