This was awesome. My daughter is vegan and I'm doing WW so it was a perfect blend! I did 6 servings, used veggie broth and water, as some reviewers suggested, added some cumin & cayenne pepper and extra paprika (I like lots of flavor) and didn't add any salt since the veggie broth supplied plenty. Will make this again and again. My daughters also suggested adding black beans and corn. This recipe is so versitile, you could use all sorts of veggies and spices to customize it to your tastes. Thank you for sharing!

Very flavorful! After reading several reviews, I decided to all a LOT of extra veggies and I'm glad I did. Mine is definitely of a stew consistency.

I thought this was pretty good and very stew-like. Easy to make, healthy and the apple was an unexpected twist. (No fresh tomatoes in the house so I substituted crushed tomatoes from a can.) I like the idea of adding sausage or chicken.

Delish!! I have been making a shorter version of this recipe for years, and my husband came up with the idea of adding bbq sauce to the finished dish. We've been eating it that way ever since! I used chicken sausage w/ apples and added a little cayenne pepper to kick it up a bit. Perfect balance of sweet, spicy and salty. Also, in placeo of broth or salt, I have used onion soup mix instead (omitting some of the chopped onion as well). We usually pair with rice or cornbread and dollop with bbq sauce. Great as leftovers, too!!!

This was what we would call a soup--not a stew. It was very good though and I will make it again because we like lentils.

I had some leftover homemade applesauce (prepared with apple pie spice and brown sugar, so I omitted the BBQ sauce) that needed to be used, so I decided to try this recipe. And I'm glad I did. I used chicken boullion instead of vegetable, scallions instead of yellow onion, a can of green beans instead of the peas and a small can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh. In addition, I added 3 "all purposed" potatoes and added additional spices (peppercorns, rosemary and tarragon leaves and some fresh basil). Topped it with parmesan cheese and served it with Saltine crackers. Both my husband and I liked it a lot.

I was a little skeptical to make this for some friends that we had over due to the unique flavors, but I am so glad I did. It was delicious. They couldn't believe there was apple in it. I always love the aroma of bbq sauce, but never really know how to utilize it being a vegetarian...this stew did it for me and I will be keeping this recipe!!

This was amazing soup! I added crushed red pepper, cumin, oregono, basil, bay leaf, and a few rosemary springs because I like my soups spicy. The barbacue and apples go amazingly together. Anyone who dosent like this soup is probably not a big fan of lentils or does not like barbacue sauce cause this was awesome. Thanks so much for sharing, this will become part of my weekly menu!

This stew was really good!!! It says serves four so I doubled the recipe because I was having people over...this was not necessary! I soaked the lentils before I cooked them because that's what I always do,but that wasn't necessary either. I ended up with a lot of soup instead of stew, but the flavor was still great!

In all fairness, this was my first recipe using lentils so this may impact my review on this dish. It smelled great simmering, but the taste was not so good. I followed the recipe as stated except for subbing canned drained tomatoes for the fresh. I also scaled the recipe to 2 servings but it still made a ton! It easy could have been 5 servings. Way too many lentils in this dish. Even with all the interesting ingredients it had a bland taste. I ate 1/2 bowl and knew my kids wouldn't touch it, so I threw it out (first time for a recipe from here).

It was the intriguing combination of BBQ sauce and apples--neither of which I have ever used in a stew before--that made me want to try this recipe. I loved it! I made the stew almost exactly as the recipe directed, only I omitted the olive oil, used canned tomatoes, and celery instead of the peas. The BBQ sauce I used was Mesquite and gave the stew a wonderful smokey flavor. I will definitely make this again!

I made this stew last night and I love it. I kept the basic recipe the same but added a little more carrot, apple, paprika and some chopped celery. I also added a pinch of cayenne pepper and plenty of black pepper. It turned out so well! It's the perfect low fat way to use up veggies. I may try adding more veg next time. Thank you!

This was... interesting. I loved seeing all the veggies go in there and that healhy feeling made it more edible, but there was just something strange about the sweetness of it. Also, my lentils got way overcooked (and I cooked it less than the 20 minutes and 20 minutes). I probably won't make it again.

The end result will clearly vary based upon what barbeque sauce one uses. We used Heinz, and the taste was overpowering. Not sure I'll make this again.

This was pretty good. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because like other reviewers I found the carrots to still be too crunchy (next time i'll put them in with the lentils) and i found it to be a little bland. I added about some cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice and that really helped! (i'm not sure how much though because i just poured them in lol) Definitely a keeper though!
