Duck - 1 pc., Cumin - 1-2 tsp, Salt - 0.5-0.75 tsp, Ground black pepper - 0.25 tsp, Apples - 8-12 pcs., Sour cream - 50-100 g, Butter - 20-50 g, Flour - 2 tbsp. spoons, Broth - 0.5-1 cup, * For decoration (optional):, Pitted olives - 5-8 pcs., or Parsley greens - 2-3 sprigs

prepare the products.

Gut the duck carcass and, if necessary, pray. Wash and dry the prepared duck carcass. Grate the duck outside and inside with cumin, pepper and salt.

Wash the apples, remove the core. If desired, you can cut half of the total number of apples into halves or quarters.

Stuff the duck with small or medium apples cleared of seeds.

Then sew the duck with threads. Then coat with sour cream.

Turn on the oven. Cover the baking sheet with foil and grease with oil. Put the duck on the oil-lubricated tray with the back down.

Place the baking sheet in a highly preheated oven (220 degrees) and fry the duck until browned (20 minutes). Lubricate the duck with sour cream or juice every 5 minutes. Be sure to make sure that the duck does not dry from above and burn from below!Then reduce the heat to minimal and bake the duck almost until tender (35-50 minutes), watering with the stand-out juice every 10 minutes. When the duck, baked with apples, is almost ready, put the rest of the apples on the baking sheet and bake them (another 20 minutes).

To prepare the sauce, you need to sift the flour. To do this, heat a dry frying pan, lay out the flour, fry it over a medium heat, stirring, until creamy (5-7 minutes).

Then pour the juice released from the duck into the flour sauté, add the broth, bring to a boil (if the sauce is too thick, you can dilute it with an additional portion of the broth or boiled water and bring to a boil again). Strain.

Remove the finished duck from the oven, release from the threads, remove the apples. A duck baked with apples is laid out on the dish with its belly down and poured over the sauce. Lay the apples around the duck, with which she was stuffed. Lightly spoon them and spread the separately baked apples on them. You can insert olives into the cutouts of large apples or decorate a duck with green apples.
