It is quite easy to cook a delicious duck with apples in a sleeve if you follow the step-by-step recipe. The bird will be juicy and tender, with a crispy crust. A pleasant bonus is that you will get baked potatoes as a side dish. Thus, you will get a complete, hearty and healthy dish. Apples, which release juice when baked in a sleeve, give the duck a piquant taste and make it soft. Cooking the dish will take quite a while, but the duck will spend most of its time in the oven.
