What kind of apples should I use?

Any firm variety like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp works well in this stew, providing both texture and a balance of sweetness and tartness.

How can I thicken the stew?

If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Yes, absolutely! Sauté the beef and onions as described, then combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

While cider vinegar is more acidic and less sweet, it can be used in a pinch. Use sparingly and adjust sweetness with a bit of honey or sugar.

Consider serving with a rustic loaf of bread or a simple green salad to complement the rich flavors of the stew.

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.

2. In the same pot, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

3. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in the apple cider and beef broth. Stir in the thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.

4. Add the apples, carrots, and potatoes to the pot. Give it a good stir to mix everything evenly.

5. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef and vegetables are tender.

6. Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Fall Apple Cider Stew Mash!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in portions for later. Thicken with cornstarch if desired.
