Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir Italian sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to prepared casserole dish. Drain drippings and reserve 2 tablespoons drippings in the skillet.

Lightly stir sausage, apple, and onion together; season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.
Step 6
Brown flour in reserved drippings in skillet over medium heat. Whisk water into flour until thick gravy forms, about 3 minutes.

Pour gravy over sausage mixture in the casserole dish; spread mashed potatoes over the top with a spoon, creating peaks. Lightly brush mashed potatoes with 1 tablespoon melted margarine.

Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are lightly browned and the sausage mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
