To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the crust:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water

For the filling:

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, brown sugar, and salt, and cook until the onions are caramelized, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in the thyme leaves and cook for another minute.
Arrange the apple slices over the crust and sprinkle with the Gruyere cheese. Spoon the caramelized onions over the top. Drizzle the heavy cream over the filling and season with salt and pepper.
Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
