Sweet apples, sweet potatoes, and tender leeks complement each other harmoniously in this creamy casserole topped with gooey Parmesan cheese. The sweet and spicy flavor with fruity notes makes it a wonderful side dish for roast turkey, chicken, or pork. Allow the casserole to cool slightly for easy slicing.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 175°C.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the leeks and 2 tablespoons water, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft but not browned, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme, then the cream and cook until the liquid thickens, about 2 minutes; set aside.
- In a shallow 2-quart baking dish, arrange the sweet potato slices in overlapping layers. Spread the leek mixture evenly over the sweet potatoes. Arrange the apples in a single, overlapping layer. Brush the apples with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown, about 20 minutes more. A knife should easily pierce the apples and sweet potato. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
