How to Make Roast Goose With Caramelized Apples
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position rack in the lower third of the oven.
- Rinse the goose inside and out and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
- Generously sprinkle the inside and outside of the goose with salt and pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully make small slits all over the goose skin.
- Insert thin slices of garlic into the slits.
- Place the goose on a rack in a large roasting pan, breast side down.
- Roast for 2 hours and 45 minutes, basting occasionally with pan drippings and removing excess fat from the pan.
- Reserve 6 tablespoons of the rendered goose fat.
- Carefully turn the goose breast-side up.
- Continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 175°F (80°C), basting occasionally, about 45 minutes more.
- While the goose roasts, prepare the apples: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice.
- Pour the reserved 6 tablespoons of goose fat into a 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the apples to the baking dish.
- Toss the apples gently in the goose fat to coat evenly.
- Add the sugar, Calvados (or apple brandy), and cinnamon to the apples. Toss to combine.
- Place the baking dish with the apples in the oven alongside the goose during the last hour of cooking.
- Bake until the apples are very tender and golden brown, about 1 hour.
- Remove the goose and apples from the oven. Let the goose rest for at least 15-20 minutes before carving.
- Serve the carved goose with the delicious caramelized apples. Enjoy!
