MasterChef star Khanh Ong has created two delicious recipes with an affordable Kmart sausage roll maker.

The celebrity chef has partnered with the budget homeware store to demonstrate how to use the appliance for a new Masterclass series online.

Ong uses the $29 sausage roll maker to create restaurant style treats, with one recipe showcasing a Thai flavoured roll while the other is a twist on the classic apple pie.

Ong’s creations are adventurous but he encourages home chefs to experiment with whatever they have in the cupboard.

APPLE PIE ROLLS

Core and Peel three Granny Smith apples then cut them into 8ths

Simmer 50g butter and 2 or 3 cloves in a large frying pan on medium heat until foaming

Add apples and cook for two minutes until edges start to soften

Sift and add 80g of icing sugar over the apples and cook apples for five minutes stirring occasionally until they caramelise

Add 50ml of brandy and hold the saucepan to the flame so the liquid catches alight and wait until the brandy evaporates

Add 1/4 teaspoon of ginger powder and a dash of cinnamon

Cook for two to three minutes

Add a pinch of salt or chili to give it a bit of a kick

Beat an egg to make an egg wash

Remove the cloves from the apple mix

Grab a sheet of puff pastry and place onto the sausage roll maker

Fill the pockets with three tablespoons of filling each and fold the pastry over

Brush the top with egg wash

Wait 16-18 minutes until it cooks

Wait for it to cool

Whip 500ml of thickened cream, add a few drops of vanilla essence and icing sugar

Grate lemon zest and add to mix

‘I know that this sounds really weird coming from someone that cooks so much but it makes cooking really easy and really fun for everyone…. and kind of achievable for everyone,’ Ong told A Current Affair.

Kmart’s Rosanne Merola said that using the sausage roll maker can be a chance to get out of your comfort zone.

‘The kitchen is the heart and I think what’s happened in isolation is you take the opportunity to try something new and try something different,’ she said.

The full recipes are available by watching the masterclass on Kmart’s website.
