Place wheat berries in a saucepan.
Add water to cover them by about 2 inches.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to hold a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook for about 1 hour until tender. Stir occasionally.
Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix apples, shallots, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Remove giblets from pheasant.
Loosen the skin and rub remaining salt and pepper underneath.
Put pheasant breast-side down on top of the apple mixture.
Roast for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, add cider and cinnamon stick to a saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Boil about 15 minutes until reduced by 1/2 cup.
Remove from the heat and discard cinnamon stick.
After roasting for 30 minutes, turn the pheasant over.
Baste with a couple tablespoons of the reduced cider.
Continue roasting 40 to 50 minutes longer, basting every 15 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh without touching bone reads 165 degrees F.
Place pheasant on a cutting board.
Let rest for 10 minutes.
Pour apple mixture into a serving bowl and add wheat berries and pheasant juices.
Carve pheasant and serve with salad.
