I’m a little confused. It says to add apple with the veggies but there is no apple on the list. I thought it was the apple cider but it says to add that with the meat. I’ve never heard of apple cider with beef stew but it sounds pretty good.
Yummm, I’ll make this next week to take out to my daughters. The apple and cider will help in tenderizing the beef.
I really love your blog site and recipes.

@Diane – The peeled and chopped apple is the last item in the list of ingredients.
