For the filling, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, add oil and onions, and cook for 10-15 minutes until caramelised. Add thyme and sauté 1 minute more. Add flour and mix.

Step 2

To avoid lumps, slowly add stock. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Late in cooking, add mustard and vinegar. Put the potatoes in a big pan of cold water, bring to the boil, and cook for 4-5 minutes until barely done and still keeping their shape.

Drain, then add to sauce. Add apples, cheddar, and seasoning and stir again. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the filling in a 28cm oval baking dish (ours was 28 x 18.5 x 6.5cm).

Slice into 1cm strips. Lay half the strips across the dish horizontally, leaving spaces of a few millimetres, then weave in the remaining strips vertically, over and beneath, again spacing them apart by a few millimetres.
