Mini Sausage Pies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Bake: 30 min. YIELD: 1 dozen.
The simple ingredients and family-friendly flavor of these little sausage cups make them a go-to dinner favorite. And everyone gets their own pies—which makes them even better! —Kerry Dingwall, Ponte Vedra, Florida

Ingredients

  • 1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 pound bulk sage pork sausage
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, unfold pastry sheets; roll each into a 16x12-in. rectangle. Using a floured cutter, cut twelve 4-in. circles from 1 sheet; press onto bottoms and up sides of 12 ungreased muffin cups. Using a floured cutter, cut twelve 3-1/2-in. circles from remaining sheet.
  • 2. Mix sausage, green onions, apricots and spices lightly but thoroughly. Place 1/4 cup mixture in each pastry cup. Brush edges of smaller pastry circles with egg; place over pies, pressing edges to seal. Brush with egg. Cut slits in top.
  • 3. Bake until golden brown and a thermometer inserted in filling reads 160°, 30-35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
