Step by Step guide

Step 1

Peel the apples. Cut half into wedges and the other half into large cubes.

Step 2

Wash the duck, season with salt, stuff it with the diced apples, and sew it up. Then carefully transfer it to a greased baking dish, cover with foil, and place in a preheated oven at 356°F for 1 to 1.5 hours (the exact time depends on the size of the duck).

Step 3

Remove the duck from the oven, take off the foil, and drain the fat into a separate pot. Brush the surface of the duck with honey, sprinkle with pepper, and return it to the oven to brown the skin.

Step 4

In the pot with the duck fat, pour in the wine, add the apples and grapes. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Take the duck out again, carefully transfer the stewed apples and grapes to it, and pour the resulting sauce over. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
