Have not tried yet but will - however I want to suggest to everyone who uses dried herbs - please try the fresh. I will be using fresh thyme in this as it is soooooo much better and also I don't like the "sticks" and such in dried thyme. Fresh thyme really lasts a long time in the fridge - next time you make rice (as a side) try cooking it in a stock (beef or chicken) and throw in sprags of fresh thyme - when it is finished - pull on the stalks and throw away and fluff rice - yummy! I don't buy box flavored rice anymore!

I had never heard of putting apples in with green beans but I gave it a try and this dish was fantastic.
