Scallop Potatoes,Parmesan, Pears and Apples

Scalloped Potatoes with Apples and Pear
Parmesan,granny smith apples

Ingredients:
1/4 butter or margarine (or vegan margarine-Earth Balance is a good choice)
1/4 cup flour
3 large potatoes, peeled, sliced thick and boiled until almost done
1 pear, firm, not quite ripe-raw, peeled, and sliced thick, not cooked
1 granny smith apple-raw, peeled, and sliced thick, not cooked

1/2 cup parmesan, grated
1/2 pint heavy cream (or vegan soy milk, Silk is a good one)-for lighter calorie, substitute 1/4 cup milk for 1/4 cup of the cream
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
few sprinkles of salt
few turns of pepper

Prepare all ingredients, boil the potatoes until almost done.
Prepare the sauce.  Start by making a rue.  This is done by melting the margarine over medium heat, add in the flour, and stir until smooth and well mixed, about 1 minute.  Add the cream and herbs, and simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Now you're ready to assemble.  Take a baking dish, and put a small amount of the sauce into the bottom of the dish.  Place a layer of potatoes, then more sauce, some cheese,then a layer of apples and pears, then cream sauce, then more potatoes, etc.. Continue until all of your ingredients are used up.  Save a little sauce for the top.  And top with any remaining Parmesan.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 degree F for 40 minutes, and then uncover and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
