For the earth, peel and roughly dice the potatoes, place them in a pot. Cover with just enough water, bring to the boil, and simmer for 20 minutes until soft. Drain, allow to evaporate, and roughly mash. Heat the milk, add to the potatoes with the butter, and mix everything well. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg, then cover and keep warm. For the sky, peel and slice the onions. Heat the oil in a pan and sauté the onions for about 10 minutes until translucent. Wash, peel, quarter, core, and thinly slice the apples. Then add to the onions and cook for 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, vinegar, and maple syrup. Stir the mashed potatoes, divide among plates, serve with the onion and apple mixture, and sprinkle with parsley if desired.
