Serves 6

2 large potatoes, sliced thinly
3 apples, cored, halved and sliced thinly
1 onion, sliced very thinly
½ cup finely grated cheddar cheese
1 cup whipping cream
¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Note: To prevent potatoes and apples from browning before assembling the dish, put them in a bowl of cold water with a squeeze of lemon juice.  Drain and pat dry before using.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large, shallow baking dish.
  2. Make alternating layers of the potato, apple, and onion slices in the prepared dish, finishing with a layer of potatoes. Sprinkle evenly with cheese then pour the cream over the mixture.
  3. Sprinkle with fresh grated nutmeg and black pepper to taste. Bake for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
