1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon

Place sliced apples in a bowl and gently fold in sugar, salt and cinnamon. Place apple mixture in a 9X13 glass baking dish (I used 8X8 because we wanted a thick crisp). Top with topping. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold with ice cream!

Shepherd's Pie

1 pound ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
onions (or for me onion powder)
pepper
garlic (I used both minced garlic and garlic powder)
Worcestershire sauce
can of green beans (or mixed veggies)
Can of stewed tomatoes
5 potatoes cooked and mashed

Preheat oven to 350. Brown beef with onion and seasonings and sauce. Add beans and tomatoes (I didn't have stewed tomatoes, so I left them out) and let simmer for a few minutes. Spoon into a casserole dish (I sprayed with cooking spray), and top with potatoes. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes. I was worried, because I just threw everything in the pan. But, I guess that is kind of what Shepherd's pie is, right?
