Roast Goose With Apple Stuffing (Gansabraten Mit Apfelfullung) image

A traditional Christmas dish in Northern Europe. In Germany it is often paired with red cabbage, applesauce, or sauerkraut. I don't remember where I got this recipe. Probably from my German grandmother!

Bake at 350 for 3-4 hours,, until the internal temperature is 175-180. Remove the goose, let rest for 15-20 minutes while you make the gravy.
