In a large pan, brown sausage meat.once browned add onions and garlic.
Once onion is translucent, add all the veggies (including apple)and seasonings and stir and cook for 6-8 min.
Transfer everything to baking dish or oven safe dish, top with mashed potatoes and shredded cheese.
Bake in 350F oven for 35 min and until top is bubbly and browned around the edges.
**note: I topped mine with rustic mashed roasted sweet potato instead since hubby isn't CRAZY about sweet potato. Mine was DELISH and he said the regular mashed was delish (and my 2 year old loved it as well) the apples were a delish sweet bite.
