Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Butter an 8-cup (20 cm) shallow casserole dish; set aside.

In a saucepan, combine cream, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Bring just to steaming over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk to combine; set aside.

Meanwhile, peel potatoes; cut into very thin slices. Peel and core apple; cut into very thin slices. Pour enough of the cream mixture into prepared dish to coat the bottom. Layer about one-third of the potato slices overlapping as necessary; top with half of apple slices. Pour over one-third of the cream mixture. Repeat layering, ending with potatoes and remaining cream mixture. Press down potatoes with a spatula to cover in cream.

Bake for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender and top is golden.

Sprinkle with cheese; broil for about 2 min or until golden. Let stand for 10 min.

Tips

Baked dish can be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Reheat, covered with foil, in 325 °F (160 °C) oven for about 50 min, uncover for the last 10 minutes to crisp top.
