This sweet cheese, apple and onion tart is ideal for using up bits and bobs from the kitchen.  Leftover cheese, onions and a couple of small apples alongside some bramble jam.  This could be one for Christmas as well to use up spare cheese and cranberry sauce.

Unroll the pastry onto a large baking tray leave it on the paper from the pack).
Score a border, about 1cm in from the edge. Score a criss-cross pattern over the central piece of pastry, so that the middle doesn’t rise too much.
Bake for 15 mins.
Heat the oil in a large pan.
Add the onions and cook for 10-15 mins until softened.
Stir in the vinegar.
Simmer for 1 min then add the mustard and thyme.
Slice the apple thinly.
Toss the slices in a splash of vinegar to stop them from browning.
By now the pastry should be starting to colour.
Spread the onions over the middle.
Add blobs of sauce.
Add apple slices.
