Season with salt and pepper. Continue to sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and cream together. Add the cornmeal and whisk until smooth. Stir the apple mixture and cheese into the cornmeal mixture. Mix until incorporated. In another large mixing bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until very stiff and peaks form, then fold into the apple batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until it sets, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Spoon onto serving plates and garnish with parsley.
