Recipe : Scalloped Potatoes and Apples

This nice little recipe arrived in our mail the other day courtesy of Publix Super Markets.  Perhaps you have seen it too.  We haven't tried it but it sounds delicious and it is a great way to make use of fall apples.

2 cups tart apple slices
1 Tablespoon herb garlic butter
1/4 cup diced red onions
1 (20oz) pkg refrigerated homestyle sliced potatoes
2 cups reduced-fat milk
2 oz. white cheddar cheese

1. Preheat large saute pan on medium 2-3 minutes.  Cut apples into thin slices.  Place butter in pan then add onions; cook and stir 3- 4 minutes or until soft.
2. Stir in apples and remaining ingredients (except cheese) and cover; cook and stir 18 minutes or until potatoes are tender.  Shred cheese.
3. Reduce heat to low.  Sprinkle with cheese and cover; cook 4-5 minutes (do not stir) or until cheese melts.  Serve.
