1. Peel and coarsely grate the parsnips. If they are old, cut into quarters and remove and discard the woody cores before grating.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large, shallow saucepan, add the parsnips and cook over moderate heat.
3. Meanwhile, peel and coarsely grate the apple. Stir into the pan, season with salt and black pepper, then squeeze in 1 teaspoon juice from the half lemon.
4. Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and add to the pan. Cook for 3–5 minutes more, until parsnips are tender.
5. Pour the cream into the pan and stir until the mixture is heated through. Spoon into a warmed serving dish.
