Method
01.
Peel the apples, core them and fill the hollow with cranberry compote.
02.
Clean the duck, season it with salt and pepper inside and out, and stuff it with the apples and cranberry compote.
03.
Place the duck in a roasting tin and roast in a preheated oven. While roasting, baste it with the fatty juices, add water as needed, and prick the fatty parts with a carving fork so that the fat runs out better; remove some of the fat.
04.
Towards the end of roasting, add more apples filled with cranberries to the juices. They will absorb the flavour of the roast duck beautifully.
05.
Serve the roast duck with apples with a side dish of your choice. Homemade dumplings are ideal, but if you don't have them, potatoes will do just fine.
