Colour the pheasant in butter.
Meanwhile quarter, peel, mince, and slightly toss in butter six medium-sized apples.
Garnish the bottom of a terrine with a layer of these apples; set the browned pheasant thereon; surround it with what remains of the apples; sprinkle it with a few tablespoonfuls of fresh cream; cover the terrine, and cook in the oven for from twenty to twenty-eight minutes.
Serve the preparation in the terrine.
