Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 9-inch round or oval gratin dish, place the red onion and yam slices in alternate layers.
Step 2
Put the apple cider, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot cider over the onions and yams and sprinkle with the fresh thyme.
Step 3
Distribute the pieces of butter over the top and cover the gratin dish with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue baking, basting often, until the onions and yams are tender, about 30 minutes.
