How to Make Apple Beef Stew

1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown 1.5 lbs beef stew meat in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Remove beef and set aside.
2. Add 1 large chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth and 1 cup of apple juice. Bring to a boil.
5. Reduce heat to low. In a small cheesecloth bag or spice sachet, combine 1 bay leaf, 6 whole allspice berries, and 2 whole cloves. Add the spice bag to the pot.
6. Return the beef to the pot. Add 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped, and 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Braeburn), peeled, cored, and chopped.
7. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
8. Remove the spice bag. If desired, thicken the stew with 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir until desired consistency is reached.
9. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot with crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
10. Enjoy your delicious and warming Apple Beef Stew!
