Using ring cutter, cut puff pastry into circles that are slightly larger in diameter than the sausage pieces.
Using a fork, poke holes in puff pastry circles. Place sausage in center of pastry circles, and put on baking sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until pastry has puffed up and is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to serving platter.
Garnish with apricot mustard (recipe below) & parsley and enjoy!
TIP: If any of the pastry pieces rise to one side, and the sausage starts to fall off, quickly push sausage back down in center and return to the oven.
