Ingredients

• Baq-baq skin-on duck breasts — 2 (about 500 g)
• Tart apples — 2
• Butter — 20 g
• Honey — 1 tbsp
• Lemon juice — 1 tbsp
• Ground cinnamon — a pinch

Directions

3. 3Flip and cook for another 4–⁠6 minutes, then let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
4. 4In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the apple wedges for 3–⁠4 minutes.
5. 5Add the honey, lemon juice and cinnamon and cook for another 2–⁠3 minutes, until the apples are soft and the sauce has thickened.
6. 6Slice the duck on the diagonal and serve with the apple sauce.
