Using a skewer or other sharp object, we make punctures in the skin of the carcass so that fat is better melted out of it. We send the goose with apples to an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 50-70 minutes. The goose should lie on the breast, back up.
After the specified time, gently turn the carcass over and fry the same amount, periodically pouring melted fat on the goose. Then we bring it to readiness (when the meat is punctured, the juice from the carcass should flow out transparent), depending on the oven and the size of the poultry.
