Potato Apple Dauphinoise

Submitted by Lizzymommy

"This is an adaptation of Julia Child’s classic scalloped potato recipe. She loved it because it was fast, simple and savory. We agree. No fussy sauce to make; just layer thinly sliced potatoes and cheese, drizzle with hot milk and bake. The classic combination of apples and cheddar with potato is my favorite."

Delicious! I can't believe no one had reviewed this dish yet. I made it tonight for the first time and hubby and I agree it's definitely going to be on the menu often. The only change I made was using 2% milk because that's what I had on hand. Thank you Lizzymommy! I've been looking for a really good potato dish that is different for a long, long time and this is it! We love it (and we are not easy to please).
