A Dutch Spin on Sheppard's Pie

After a couple days of eating out and shrinking wallets, we decided to stay at home and make dinner. Sandra suggested a Dutch dish from her Grandma's recipes. I soon realized that she was making Sheppard's pie - but with one surprise - apples and cinnamon!

The pictures don't do this meal justice. It was surprisingly delicious!

Here's the recipe for anyone who's interested in trying it:

Ingredients:

Mashed potatoes

Snow peas (finely chopped)

Ground beef
