Combine the apples, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the honey, thyme and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook, covered, until soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Mash the apples and let cool.
Peel the potatoes, then grate on the large holes of a box grater into a colander set over a large bowl. Grate the onion into the colander. Firmly squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a clean bowl and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the egg and matzo meal and stir to combine.
Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add half of the potato mixture and quickly spread into a thin, even layer. Cook until browned and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side (use a large spatula to flip). Remove to a rack set on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Add more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed and repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
Spread the apples on one latke; top with the second latke. Cut into wedges.
