Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup ice water
• 2 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/2 pound ground sausage, cooked and drained
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 egg, beaten

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, tossing with a fork until the dough comes together.
2. Shape the dough into a disk and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet.
6. In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
7. Spread the apple-sausage mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edges.
8. Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating a wheel-like shape.
9. Brush the folded edges of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden and glossy finish.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
11. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
12. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
