  • preheat oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
  • to make the apple stuffing: in a saute pan or skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and saute thyme, chopped apples, salt and pepper together until the apples are completely softened; about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • place the apple mixture in a bowl and mix in 1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese. the cheese should liquefy into the stuffing within a couple of minutes.
  • to prepare the lamb chops: butterfly the lamb chops by slicing them parallel to the plane of the chop from the fat side to the bone. stuff each one with about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the apple mixture.
  • bake the chops for about 1 hour. place the chops on a rack with the two stuffing sides pressed together to hold the stuffing inside the chops.
  • to make the sauce: heat the oil in a saute pan or skillet on medium heat, then saute the garlic until transparent, and the cheese until slightly melting. immediately add the , let cook for a minute until combined, then add the cream and 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, salt and pepper. stir until well blended. stir occasionally and reduce the liquid on medium high heat until the sauce begins to toast/caramelize and turn darker brown. add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock, reincorporate the cheese and continue reducing until there is just 1/4 to 1/2 cup of thick liquid remaining.
