Lay the joint out on a board fat side down.
Spoon the apple mixture along the centre.
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 salt and pepper.
Put the joint in a roasting pan and cook in a hot oven for 30 minutes, then heat the cider in a small pan and pour it over the lamb.
