Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean® Maple Flavor Pork Sausage Roll
  • 2 apples, peeled, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • 3 eggs, divided
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 pkg. (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
  • 2 tsp. water
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cook sausage and apples in large skillet over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently; drain. Cool slightly.

2. Combine onions, cranberries and 2 eggs in large bowl. Add sausage mixture and flour; mix lightly.

3. Unroll pastry sheets on 2 baking sheets. Spoon half of the sausage mixture down center of each sheet.

4. Beat remaining egg with water; brush onto uncovered pastry.

5. Use a sharp knife to make 7 diagonal cuts in exposed pastry on each side of filling, stopping 1 inch from filling. Fold strips over filling, alternating sides until filling is enclosed.

6. Brush pastries with remaining egg; sprinkle with sesame seeds.

7. Bake 23-27 minutes or until braids are crisp and golden brown. Cut each into 6 slices to serve.
