Apple Cider Beef Stew image

I created this slow cooker recipe using convenience products to save time chopping vegetables and browning beef. Apple cider and cinnamon are the unique additions that give a down-home flavor to this oh-so-easy and economical stew. It also makes a rich, flavorful potluck dish for holiday gatherings or on busy school nights. -Margaret Wilson, Sun City, California

I made this stew for my family, and they all loved it! The beef was so tender and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. The broth was also very flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This stew was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still good. I think next time I'll use less salt or add some more water to dilute the broth.

This stew was very easy to make, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less apple cider or add some tart apples to balance out the sweetness.
