Duck in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can, if desired, come up with various and piquant marinades, but in my opinion, this simple classic version also deserves attention. Besides apples, you can stuff the duck with onion slices and garlic. Serve the dish with a side dish to taste and your favorite sauce. The ready dish can be served at the table.
