Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages for , turning regularly to colour all over. Slice into bite-size chunks and set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients and preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 6.
Quarter, core and slice the apples, then combine with the sausages, Stilton, sage and some seasoning in a bowl.
On a clean tea towel, lay out 4 sheets of filo (like 4 window panes rather than in a line), slightly overlapping them and brushing with butter as you go. Layer the remaining sheets on top, continuing to brush with butter as you work.
Heap on the sausage mixture in a log shape, working 10 cm in from one of the shorter sides and leaving a gap at either end. Use the tea towel to help roll the strudel into a large sausage shape, tucking in the ends as you roll.
Transfer to a baking tray, then brush with the remaining melted butter and scatter with the mixed seeds.
Bake for or until golden brown, crisp and piping hot throughout.
