• With the tip of a knife, do incisions like a checkerboard on the skin of the duck breasts, but DO NOT touch the flesh. In a large non-stick skillet, brown the breasts at high heat 4-5 minutes on each side, beginning with the skin side. Put the breasts in a not too deep ovenproof dish and keep cooking in a preheated oven of 350 F for about 8 minutes or until the flesh of the duck is slightly pink inside.
• Meanwhile, deglaze the skillet by keeping 2 tablespoon of the grease. Add shallots and apples at medium heat, stirring from time to time, for about 3 minutes or until apples are golden. Pour apple juice in the skillet scraping the bottom with a wood spoon to remove the browned bits. Cook for 5 minutes or until liquid has reduced by half. Add rosemary and stir. Add salt and pepper.
• When ready to serve, slice the duck breasts in bias ( / ) Distribute the slices in the plates and coat with the sauce.

Steps:

• Meanwhile, melt 3/4 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add onions and celery. Stir often until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Add to bowl with bread; stir in herbs, salt, and pepper. Drizzle in 1 1/4 cups broth and toss gently. Let cool.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk 1 1/4 cups broth and eggs in a small bowl. Add to bread mixture; fold gently until thoroughly combined. Transfer to prepared dish, cover with foil, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of dressing registers 160°F, about 40 minutes. (Note: Dressing can be made one day ahead up to this point. Uncover the dressing, let cool, then cover again and chill. The next day, proceed with the final bake as described below.)
