1

Rinse the duck and pat it dry; rub it with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
2

Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery in the butter until tender. In a medium bowl, combine them with the apple and cornbread crumbs, and mix to make the dressing (add a little water to moisten if needed).
3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4

Fill the duck's cavity with the dressing and sew it shut with kitchen twine. Rub the outside of the bird lightly with olive oil, then place it in a shallow roasting pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 80 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
