Preheat the oven to 180°C. Clean the goose, pat it dry, and remove any excess fat.
In a skillet, melt butter and sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped sage leaves until fragrant.
In a large bowl, combine the stale bread cubes, the sautéed onion mixture, and chicken stock. Mix well to create a moist stuffing.
Season the goose cavity with salt and pepper, then stuff it with the prepared sage stuffing. Tie the legs with kitchen twine.
Place the goose breast-side up on a roasting rack set over a pan. Scatter the carrots, celery, and quartered apples around the goose.
Brush the goose with olive oil and season the skin with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 2.5-3 hours, basting occasionally with the pan drippings.
Check the internal temperature of the goose; it should reach 75°C in the thickest part of the breast. Let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Serve the roast goose with the sage stuffing and roasted vegetables, accompanied by a side of gravy or cranberry sauce.
