Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 410F
Prepare the camembert: Cut the Camembert and mash with a fork with wine and finely chopped garlic. Place the mixture on the pastry sheet and fold to make a rectangle. Bake 10 minutes.
Step 2
Prepare the duck breast: Score the skin without reaching the meat and then fry on both sides in a hot pan so that they brown. Finish cooking in oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 410. Add salt and pepper just before serving.
Step 3
Peel apples, core and cut into fairly thick slices. Use the pan you cooked the duck breasts in and brown the apples a few minutes and then keep them in oven for 5 minutes at 410.
Step 4
Cider sauce - Sauté finely chopped shallots in a knob of butter. Pour the cider and reduce. When cooked add the cream. Salt and pepper
