Jimmy Dean Maple Sausage Pillows

• 1 package Maple Flavor Jimmy Dean Pork Sausage
• 1 cup diced onion
• 1 cup finely chopped apple
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped orange zest
• 2 (17.3-ounce) packages frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
• 1/2 cup pine nuts (optional)
• 2 to 4 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional)
• Orange slices and fresh mint for garnish (optional)

1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook sausage and onion, stirring frequently, until meat is finely crumbled and no longer pink and onion is translucent; remove from heat. Stir in apple, raisins, spices, maple syrup and orange zest; add pine nuts if desired. Preheat oven to 375u0b0 F. Unfold a pastry sheet and cut each into 3 equal strips lengthwise, then cut each strip into 3 squares for a total of 9 squares per sheet. Before filling each square, press to enlarge slightly. Place a slightly rounded tablespoon of sausage mixture in the center of each square; brush edges of pastry with water. Fold dough over filling to create a triangle, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling. Bake on an ungreased baking sheet 18 minutes, or until dough puffs and turns golden brown.
2. Dust with powdered sugar; decorate serving platter with orange slices and mint leaves.
