Add butter, onions and thyme, reduce heat to low, then cover and cook, stirring regularly, for 40 minutes or until the onions are soft and light brown in colour, but not burnt. Increase heat to high, add cider and allow to boil for 4 minutes, then fold in the spinach and cook for 1 minute or until wilted. Season, remove from heat and set aside.
