Directions

  1. Peel the onions, but not the potatoes. Dice the onions, then sauté them in the butter for 15 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Cut the apples into cubes, then wash and dry them, for example using a dishcloth. ≈ 8 min
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the apples and cook them for about 15 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Once the vegetables are about three-quarters cooked, add the onions, salt, and pepper, and then simmer for 5 minutes over low heat.
  5. Place the apples in a dish suitable for the oven. Scrape off the rind from the Reblochon cheese, cut it in half, and place the two halves on top of the apples. ≈ 3 min
  6. Bake everything in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly all over.
