How to bake a duck with apples up its sleeve? Let's prepare the ingredients. It is best to supplement the duck with apples of sour varieties (if you like, apples can be replaced with quince, it will also give the necessary acid content). Wash the duck carcass well and dry.

Pour salt, ground pepper, ground bay leaf into a bowl. Everything to taste, you can not add something at all or add and supplement from yourself, but the main thing is to maintain the balance - do not overdo it! Mayonnaise and apples will also give their taste to the duck.

Grate the duck well with spices from the inside and outside. Refrigerate for a couple of hours. If you like, add pieces of garlic under the skin, making cuts. I prefer duck without garlic.

Before getting the duck out of the fridge, turn on the oven 180 degrees so that it can heat up, cut the apples into quarters, removing the core. You should not spray lemon, they are already sour, their taste is enough for a duck.

Taking the carcass out of the refrigerator, rub it well with mayonnaise.

Apple & quot; stuffing & quot; duck.

If you like, you can sew up the duck and secure with toothpicks. I compacted the apples tightly, they sat there tightly, so I did not sew them up.

Carefully put the carcass in the casserole sleeve. Tightly tie the ends on both sides. Attention! The sleeve should be like this - holes for steam to come out on top, this allows the duck to cook evenly, and the sleeve will not & quot; swell & quot;. Put in our preheated oven. The time is approximately 2 hours. Based on 40 min-1 hour per 1 kg of poultry. But still look and focus on your ovens.

5-7 minutes before the end of cooking, you can tear the sleeve from above at the seam, just do it with culinary gloves and carefully so as not to scalp! And put in the oven back for 5 minutes. This is so that there is a mouth-watering crust.

Put the finished duck on a dish, decorate at your discretion. The apples inside became soft, but they accomplished their mission - making duck meat soft and juicy, tender and fragrant. Treat your favorite household and guests) A pleasant appetite!
