Magrets de Canard aux Pommes (Duck Breasts with Calvados Apple Sauce) image

Succulent duck breasts, butter, apples and calvados - just four ingredients make up this fabulous dish. I just made this recipe tonight and it was so good... I had my husband's seal of approval who could not wait to eat it while I was taking the picture. The sweet and sour taste is very nice. I think I'll do it again for Christmas.

The duck breasts were cooked perfectly and the apple sauce was delicious. I would have liked a bit more sauce, but that's just personal preference. Overall, a great recipe.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the duck breasts. I would not recommend this recipe for beginners.

The duck breasts were a bit overcooked for my taste, but the apple sauce was excellent. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the duck for a shorter amount of time.
