Potato and apple gratin

A lighter version of an old French classic.

Ingredients

2 Tbsp	Olive oil
1 large	Onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp	Thyme leaves
3 medium	Potatoes, (400g) (Main)
1 large	Granny Smith apple (Main)
1 Tbsp	Butter
1 cup	Cream
¾ cup	Milk
1 sprinkle	Flaky sea salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium-low. Sauté the onion — stirring occasionally — until soft, about 12 minutes. Add the thyme.
3. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Core and thinly slice the apple. Lightly butter a 1 litre baking dish.
4. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes in the baking dish. Top with 1/2 the apple slices and 1/2 the onion. Repeat the layers ending with a layer of potato.
5. Heat the cream, milk and salt together. Pour evenly over the potato mixture. Cover.
6. Place a baking tray in the oven to catch any drips. Place the baking dish on top. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove the cover and bake for a further 10 minutes or until the top is golden.
