Preheat the oven to 170°C (top/bottom heat). Wash the lamb’s lettuce in cold water and drain, removing any tough stems. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil them in salted water until soft, then press them through a potato ricer. Add the apple juice, vinegar, mustard, oil, salt, and pepper and mix well. Core the apples, cutting a slit in the bottom for better stability. Mix the goat cheese with the thyme, salt, pepper, and chopped pumpkin seeds and stuff the apples. Place the stuffed apples on a baking tray and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. After 5 minutes, place the bacon slices on a rack above them and fry until crispy. The dripping fat will give the apples additional flavor. Serve the lamb’s lettuce with the potato dressing on a plate with the baked apple, then place the bacon on top of the baked apple.
