I dont know why not... The flavor is so intense , I personally dont think it would be a problem

Hope you like the recipe... Like I said, this works for pork chops also. Best to you..

If you must omit the honey, I'd add in a little bit of artificial sweetener just to highlight the sweet undertones a bit more. As for this recipe, it sounds very good but personally I'd puree the apple so that it would soak better into the (pierced) meat and infuse it with sweetness.

have tried the artificial sweetener and it gave it a slightly bitter taste. As far as the apples being purred I think you would lose the texture of the dish. Of course, any thing is possible.. Thanks
