Instructions

1. Degrease, wash and dry the goose. Then season the inside and outside with salt, pepper and marjoram. Put the peeled, pitted and eighths of the apples in a bowl (best moistened with lemon juice so that they do not turn brown) and mix with the raisins and almond sticks.
2. Stuff the goose with the apple mixture and seal tightly. It is best to pierce the goose several times so that the fat drains off better. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, place the goose in a roaster, the bottom of which is covered with water. Cook for 2 to 3 hours.
3. It is best to turn after a third of the cooking time and pour the resulting juice over the last third several times and turn more often. When the goose is nice and crispy, it is done.
4. When serving, it is essential to collect the apple filling and serve in an extra bowl, as it serves as a delicious side dish.
