A delightful casserole combining tender pheasant with the sweetness of apples, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Cut the pheasant into serving pieces and coat each piece in the flour mixture.
Shake off excess flour to avoid clumping.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown the pheasant pieces on both sides.
Browning enhances the flavor and seals in juices.
Place the browned pheasant pieces in a baking dish and sprinkle with thyme.
Arrange pieces evenly for consistent cooking.
Add the apple slices to the dish, distributing them around the pheasant.
Ensure apples are evenly spread for balanced flavor.
Mix the apple cider and vinegar, then pour over the pheasant and apples.
Pour evenly to ensure all ingredients are moistened.
Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serve the casserole warm, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
