Clean the duck legs and rub them with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat and sear until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the duck legs and sear the other side. Transfer them to a baking dish. Add the rosemary sprigs and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the braised red cabbage. Thinly slice the red cabbage, finely chop the onion, and grate the apples.
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the cabbage, sprinkle with sugar, and let it caramelize slightly.
Pour in the vinegar, add the grated apples, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
Serve the duck confit hot with the braised red cabbage. Add a potato side dish or fresh bread to complete the meal.
