Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, defrosted
- 2 medium or 1 large apple, cored and sliced (not too thick - you want to avoid too much weight or liquid as it will make the pastry soggy)
- 2-3 branches fresh thyme, chopped
- Handful of fresh basil and/or oregano, chopped
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (you could also use goat or gruyère cheese)
- 1 large onion, sliced
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Sea salt
- Handful of toasted pine nuts
