• 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 fennel bulbs, cored and thinly sliced

1. Heat oil over medium heat in large saucepot. Add fennel and sugar; cook 30 to 35 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring frequently. Add thyme and salt; cook 5 minutes or until very deeply browned.

3. In medium bowl, whisk eggs and cream. Spread fennel in bottom of crust. Arrange apple slices on top of fennel. Pour egg mixture over fennel and apples. Sprinkle with chevre and walnuts.
