Ingredients:

Serving

5 lb celery root (sometimes called celeriac)
4 gala , empire , or mcintosh apples (1 1/2 lb total)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
2 tsp salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
garnish: celery leaves

Directions:

Peel celery root with a sharp knife, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Peel and core apples, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
Melt butter in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderately low heat, then add celery root, apples, and salt and stir to coat with butter. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook (without adding liquid), stirring occasionally, until celery root is tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
Purée mixture in batches in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes per batch. Return purée to pot and stir in cream, white pepper, and nutmeg. Reheat, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.
Cooks' note: Purée can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Reheat, covered, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 15 minutes.
