How to make it
- Place 1 rosemary sprig and a slice of apple in body cavity of each quail. To truss, tie butcher's twine around each bird to hold wings against breasts. With ends of same twine, tie legs together.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place trussed quail in roasting pan, breast sides up. Rub tops and sides of quail with butter. Season with salt/pepper. Roast until well browned, legs are loose when gently moved, and cooking juices are no longer pink--about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove twine from quail; keep quail warm on serving platter. Strain pan drippings into large skillet. Heat drippings; add remaining apple slices and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and lightly browned. With slotted spoon, remove apples to serving platter with quail and keep warm.
- Add vinegar to skillet and cook until most of the liquid evaporates. Add calvados and cook until most evaporates. Add cream and a sprig of rosemary; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened enough that
- sauce coats a metal spoon. Strain sauce through fine sieve into serving bowl; spoon some over apples.
- Garnish platter with rosemary sprigs, if desired. Serve immediately.
- **NOTE:
- Calvados: Dry, apple-flavored brandy, which is named after a town in the Normandy region of France. Substitute apple cider, brandy, or sweet cooking wine.
