Preparation steps
Rinse apples, cut into quarters, remove seeds and cut into wedges.
Rinse duck breast fillets under cold water, pat dry and cut diamond-shape pattern onto skin side. Season with salt and pepper. Fry in a hot pan on the skin side over medium heat about 5 minutes until brown, then briefly fry on the other side.
Place fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with honey and place apple slices around fillets. Season with salt, sprinkle with remaining honey and thyme sprigs. Bake in preheated oven at 120°C (fan 100°C; gas mark 1) (approximately 250°F) for about 35-40 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel onions and cut into wedges. Drain fat from the pan and fry onions in drippings. Add wine, stock and deglaze with Calvados. Add cloves and boil down the liquid to about 1/3. Stir in apple jelly and remove cloves. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove duck breasts from oven and let them briefly rest before slicing. Serve with apple wedges and onion sauce.
