Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon butter

1 tablespoon unbleached white flour

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

pinch ground cloves

4 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples -- such as Mutsu

1 cup chopped onions

2 cups grated Cheddar or Gruyere cheese

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 cup bread crumbs*

 

Preheat the oven to 350'. Lightly oil an

I I x 7-inch baking dish.

 

In a small pot, scald the milk, bringing it almost but not quite to a boil. In

another small pot, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Slowly add the

scalded milk, whisking continuously until the sauce starts to thicken. Add the

nutmeg, salt, and cloves and stir for about a minute, until thick. Remove from

the heat and set aside.

 

Spread the apples and onions evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle on the

grated cheese and pour the sauce over the top. Scatter on the walnuts and bread

crumbs (seasoned with brown sugar, if you like).

 

Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, until the top is golden and crisp.

 

 

 

*For a slightly sweeter gratin, mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with the bread

crumbs. This will bring out the flavor of the apples.
