Add the lamb, fennel seed, rosemary, thyme, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper and rub the mixture on both sides of the lamb. Put the lamb in the refrigerator to marinate for 1-3 hours. Remove the lamb from the refrigerator.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the lamb to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook on both sides for 8 minutes total. Remove from the heat. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. Remove from the oven.

While the lamb is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes or until the apples are soft. Add the honey to the pan and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring. Remove from the heat.

Transfer the lamb to a serving plate. Arrange the apples around the lamb. Serve immediately.
