    • First make the stuffing.

    • Lay the joint out on a board, fat side down.
    • Spoon the apple mixture along the center.
    • Roll up and tie with twine.
    • Peel the garlic and cut it into slivers, then pierce the joint all over with the point of a sharp knife and slip the slivers of garlic into the pockets formed.
    • Season with the salt and pepper, put the joint in a roasting pan and cook in the hot oven for 30 minutes, then heat the cider in a small pan and pour it over the lamb.
