Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Prepare the ducks by washing them and trimming excess fat, then patting them dry with a paper towel.

Season the inside and outside of the ducks with salt and black pepper.

Rub honey mustard all over the ducks, including the necks.

Cut the apples into pieces and stuff them inside the ducks.

Loosely cover the ducks with aluminum foil, ensuring air can escape.

Place the ducks in the oven and roast for about 2.5 hours.

After 2.5 hours, take the ducks out and pour the juices from the bottom over them.

Return the ducks to the oven for an additional hour, checking for doneness.

After a total of 3.5 hours, check the color of the ducks; they should be brown and not lighter.

Slice the ducks and serve with the melted apples.
