Method:

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/gas 6. In the meantime, peel the potatoes chop them into even chunks and cook in a large pan of boiling water for 15 minutes, until tender.

Meanwhile, brown the sausage in a large non-stick casserole on medium heat, tossing regularly while you trim the leaks, halve lengthways, wash, and slice 1cm thick.

Peel, core and choose the apples into 1cm chunks. Once golden, remove the sausages onto a plate and add the leeks and apple to the pan. Strip in most of the thyme and add a splash of water. Season then cover for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Drain the potatoes, mash with half the flour, then season to perfection. Lightly rub a 20cm x 28cm baking dish with oil. Once the mash has cooled down, use your fingertips to spread two-thirds of it across the base and sides of the dish.

Stir the remaining flour into the leeks, gradually stir in the milk, then the mustard. Simmer for five minutes until thick and creamy. Slice the sauces into chunks and stir most of them into the pan along with the juices. Then evenly spoon into the mash-lined dish.

Press the remaining mash onto a sheet of greaseproof paper until it's bigger than the dish, then flip over the top of the dish and peel the paper off. Trim any excess and crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Poke the leftover sausage slices into the top and bake at the bottom of the oven for 40 minutes until golden, adding the remaining thyme leaves for the last five minutes.
