Season birds inside and out with salt and pepper.
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and thyme and sauté until the apples are soft, about 5 minutes.
Remove the apples and add remaining butter.
Add grouse and sauté 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides.
Pour in wine and bring to a boil. Reduce until about 2 tbsp remains.
Add the cream and calvados. Simmer until just thickened and juices run clear. Stir in apples.
Serve over cooked, sliced new potatoes.
Enjoy.
