How to replace functional (many) EXTERNAL APPLICATION (SELECT * FROM)

Applies to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.

Problem

If we have a few dozen Outer Apply(30), they begin to work quite slowly. In the middle Outer Apply, I have something more complex than a simple choice, a representation.

More details

I am writing some attributes assigned to tables (in the database). As a rule, several tables contain a link to the attribute table (key, value).

The pseudo structure is as follows:

DECLARE @Lot TABLE (
LotId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, 
SomeText VARCHAR(8))

INSERT INTO @Lot
OUTPUT INSERTED.*
VALUES ('Hello'), ('World')

DECLARE @Attribute TABLE(
AttributeId INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY, 
LotId INT, 
Val VARCHAR(8),
Kind VARCHAR(8))

INSERT INTO @Attribute
OUTPUT INSERTED.* VALUES 
(1, 'Foo1', 'Kind1'), (1, 'Foo2', 'Kind2'), 
(2, 'Bar1', 'Kind1'), (2, 'Bar2', 'Kind2'), (2, 'Bar3', 'Kind3')

LotId       SomeText
----------- --------
1           Hello
2           World

AttributeId LotId       Val      Kind
----------- ----------- -------- --------
1           1           Foo1     Kind1
2           1           Foo2     Kind2
3           2           Bar1     Kind1
4           2           Bar2     Kind2
5           2           Bar3     Kind3

Now I can run the query, for example:

SELECT 
[l].[LotId]
  , [SomeText]
  , [Oa1].[AttributeId]
  , [Oa1].[LotId]
  , 'Kind1Val' = [Oa1].[Val]
  , [Oa1].[Kind]
  , [Oa2].[AttributeId]
  , [Oa2].[LotId]
  , 'Kind2Val' = [Oa2].[Val]
  , [Oa2].[Kind]
  , [Oa3].[AttributeId]
  , [Oa3].[LotId]
  , 'Kind3Val' = [Oa3].[Val]
  , [Oa3].[Kind]  
FROM @Lot AS l
OUTER APPLY(SELECT * FROM @Attribute AS la WHERE la.[LotId] = l.[LotId] AND la.[Kind] = 'Kind1') AS Oa1
OUTER APPLY(SELECT * FROM @Attribute AS la WHERE la.[LotId] = l.[LotId] AND la.[Kind] = 'Kind2') AS Oa2
OUTER APPLY(SELECT * FROM @Attribute AS la WHERE la.[LotId] = l.[LotId] AND la.[Kind] = 'Kind3') AS Oa3


LotId       SomeText AttributeId LotId       Kind1Val Kind     AttributeId LotId       Kind2Val Kind     AttributeId LotId       Kind3Val Kind
----------- -------- ----------- ----------- -------- -------- ----------- ----------- -------- -------- ----------- ----------- -------- --------
1           Hello    1           1           Foo1     Kind1    2           1           Foo2     Kind2    NULL        NULL        NULL     NULL
2           World    3           2           Bar1     Kind1    4           2           Bar2     Kind2    5           2           Bar3     Kind3

an easy way to get a pivot table of attribute values ​​and results for Lot strings that don't have an attribute of such Kind3. I know Microsoft PIVOT , and it is not easy and does not fit here.
