While the lamb is cooking, combine the honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan and warm over low heat, stirring until combined. Remove from heat.
Place the apples, onions and garlic in a bowl and toss with the warm honey mixture. Remove lamb from the oven; leave oven on. Scatter the apples, onions and garlic around the lamb, sprinkling with rosemary and sage.
