I was not sure about this but tried it and loved it. I don't really like apples in anything other than pie. My husband did not even know there were apples in it. It just gave it such a good taste. Will make again :)

This is a good basic stew recipe. My husband & I gave it 4 stars, but my son only 3. I added some white wine because I always put wine in stew, and increased the seasonings. The pork came out very tender (I used tenderloin cut into chunks). In addition to the veggies in the recipe, I added some parsnip and turnip because I had them on hand. I also added some flour at the end like other reviewers suggested.

I used leftover pork tenderloin, cooked my onion in the same stockpot I planned on cooking the stew in (who wants to wash an extra pot?), & used sweet potatoes instead of butternut squash. I did add some frozen carrot slices & it needed a healthy sprinkle of salt & pepper. On the first bite, I thought this was really good but I grew tired of it quickly. Hubby liked every last bite so maybe it was just me (why I gave it the four stars). Thansk for the recipe, CariCat!

I made this recipe in the crockpot and was rather disappointed in it. The flavor was bland and it just didn't seem like a cohesive dish. Reheated some the next day in the skillet and added additional seasonings to spice it up a bit, served it over couscous and it was much better. I doubt I would make it again though.

What a wonderful recipe. I did, however, make some changes. I used parsnips and turnips instead of butternut squash and potatoes. And it gave it a lot more flavor. I also thickened it at the end with flour/milk. A wonderful blend of flavors.

I used this recipe to use up some leftover pork loin. I just added the pork when I added the potatoes and apples. It turned out excellent! (The pork was better in the stew than when I originally cooked it.) Thanks for the great recipe!

My entire family, iincluding my in-laws loved this. I made due with what I had. I pre-heated the pork as suggested, added the broth, onion, rosemary, sage, 2 cubed apples, baby carrots, red pepper, garlic, mushroom and green peppers. Threw it all in the slow cooker and left it for 4 hours. I ended up having to added a little flour and a can of mushroom soup at the end to thicken it a little but it was delicious.

This stew was delicious! After sauteeing the onion and garlic w/ the pork, I threw in the carrots, potatoes and some mushrooms and sauteed it for a bit longer. Then I poured in one cup of the chicken broth and scraped up all the brown bits before putting it all in the cooker w/ the rest of the broth and spices. I skipped the butternut squash, only because I didn't have any. Would love to try it next time though. At the end I mixed 2 tbsps of flour and a bit of cold water and stirred that in at the end. It made a savory gravy! Mmm, I'm going back for more....

Excellent! I made this tonight in my slow cooker with the pork chunks, red potatoes, onions, baby carrots, and apple (didn't have the squash). It turned out super tender and SO tasty.
