The same home cook also shared how to make McDonald's-inspired apple pie pastries using the same Kmart gadget, and received an equal amount of praise.
The woman said she used four ingredients of tinned pie apples from Woolworths, sultanas, cinnamon and sugar to fill inside the puff pastry.
'One night we're going to experiment and half cook them and try deep frying to see if they do come out like [McDonald's] style ones,' the woman said.
Due to the popularity of the new multiple recipes, the Kmart sausage roll maker has sold out at various store locations.
