On the bottom of the duck pan, you need to put half of the remaining apples, then place the duck in it, pour a glass of clean transparent water over it and cover with a lid. The duck must be placed in an oven preheated to 170 degrees and baked for 30 minutes.

The finished duck should be taken out of the duck pan and placed on a plate. You can decorate the duck with fresh vegetables and herbs, and then it will be ready to serve on the festive table.
