Ingredients

1 lb pork sausages, casings removed
2 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 None green apple, peeled, grated
1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/4 tsp white pepper

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Combine sausage, bacon, apple, sage, thyme, white pepper and nutmeg. Mix well to combine. Set aside.
Cut 24 - 2 1/4 inch discs and 24 - 2 inch discs from pie dough. Line 2 12-cup mini-muffin pans with 2 1/4 inch discs. Distribute 1 tbsp sausage mixture between mini pies. Brush smaller discs with egg then place, egg-side down, over filling. Press edges to seal. Brush tops with egg and cut a slit in the top of each lid.
Bake for 30 mins, until golden brown. Let cool in pans for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
