Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 pounds red bliss potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced
  • 2 pounds Rome or Winesap apples, peeled, cored, and very thinly sliced
  • 2 cups grated Gruyere cheese (about 8 ounces)
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon Essence, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with the butter.

Combine the salt, white pepper, and nutmeg and stir well to blend. Lay 1/3 of the potatoes evenly in the bottom of the baking dish and season with 3/4 teaspoon of the spice blend. Place half of apples on top of the potatoes and sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese on top of the apples. Lay a second layer of potatoes in the baking dish, season with 3/4 teaspoon of the spice blend and top with the remaining apples. Sprinkle another 1/2 cup of the cheese. Lay the last of the potatoes over the cheese, season with another 3/4 teaspoon of spice and top with the last of the cheese.

In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream with the remainder of the spice blend and the Essence. Pour over the potatoes and apples and press down to fill the air spaces. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour.

Remove the foil and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbly and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

    I found this recipe in an old Emeril cookbook. I have made it several times for Christmas and it is always a hit with guests and family. It is rich and creamy with a slight sweetness. It goes excellent with a holiday ham. This dish will continue to be a family tradition in my house.

    I found this recipe online. I made it yesturday for Easter. It was very good. I didn't know that Emeril's Essence Seasoning was so very spicy. I think we will make this again without the seasoning.

    I too made this for an apple themed party and got rave reviews. The pan was completely cleaned in 10mins! I followed the recipe exactly as written and it was perfect. I'll be making it again this Thanksgiving because it was the best au gratin I have ever had.
