Directions

Place duck breasts skin-side down in a nonstick skillet over high heat, cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Melt butter in a separate skillet over high heat. Add apples, cook and stir until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, pour in Calvados. Cook and stir over low heat, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, until alcohol evaporates, about 1 minute.
Serve duck breasts with Calvados sauce.

Recipe Note

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.
