How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Season the duck legs with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor before cooking.
2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Brown the duck legs on both sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
3. Chop the onion and cut the carrots into thin slices. Peel and cut the apple into small cubes.
4. In the same saucepan, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and apple, and sauté for an additional 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Return the duck legs to the saucepan. Pour in the broth and add a sprig or pinch of thyme.
6. Cover and simmer over low heat for approximately 1 hour, until the duck is tender and the flavors are well integrated. Check the liquid level halfway through cooking and add more broth if necessary.
7. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve hot, accompanied by mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to savor the rich sauce.
