For the dough, mix all the ingredients together to form a smooth dough and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
For the topping, finely slice the apples and onion and fry in a pan with butter until soft. Cut the Camembert into slices too.
Roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface or on floured baking paper and then transfer to a baking tray. Spread the dough with sour cream or crème fraîche and season with salt and pepper. Then spread the topping (onion, apple, walnuts, camembert) over the dough. Spread the two tablespoons of honey over the topping and season everything with thyme at the end.
Bake the tarte flambée in a preheated oven at 200°C fan oven for approx. 20 minutes until golden brown.
