• season lamb tenderloins with salt and black pepper.

• preheat oven to 380 degrees f (193 degrees c).
• stir juice from 1/2 lemon, sage, and lemon zest together in a bowl until a paste forms; spread paste over each tenderloin.
• wrap bacon strips around each tenderloin and place in a baking dish. scatter apples around tenderloins and drizzle juice of 2 lemons over meat and apples.
• cook lamb in the preheated oven until apples are tender and lamb is slightly pink in the center, about 25 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees f (63 degrees c).
