GREAT soup! I substituted fresh butternut squash and swapped the pork for chicken and it turned out phenomenal!

I was looking for a simple pork stew recipe with lots of vegetables and was very happy to find this one. It was very tasty and the apples really did complement it well. I left out the squash and sage as I didn't have any, and used golden delicious apples instead of MacIntosh (again, because they were what I had on hand). I also used cornstarch and water, as others mentioned, to thicken it up a bit. My husband and I both loved it, although I thought it could have maybe used a wee bit more seasoning. I think I will definitely try it with the squash next time, and possibly some other vegetables and spices (maybe some fresh parsley and thyme and some sea salt and fresh ground black pepper). It is a keeper though.

I followed the recipe didn't use potatoes or carrots but had to add cornstarch to thicken as it was more like a soup when done. It was very yummy and the leftovers the next day were SUPERB!! Stew always tastes better the second day! - in my opinion.

Delicious! I added about a 1/2-1 cup extra water after the first 20 mins (just before adding the carrots and potatoes). I really love this.

This was a hit at our house. My husband follows a paleo lifestyle and we strive to feed our children that way too. This got "5 stars" from him and we'll definately be making it again. I like some of the others suggestions of using parsnip and mushroom, too. The recipe is great on it's own, but I think I'll include them next time.

Wonderful fall soup/stew. I do prefer using one apple, rather than two. Think it adds just the right touch of sweetness for me. Easy and quick to fix and smells heavenly as it's cooking. A new favorite!!

You could also add brussel sprouts to this for added color, nutrition, and taste ;)

I loved this recipe! I was expecting a decent flavor and just picked this as something to do with some of the massive butternut squash I had purchased. The sauce was so flavorful (even though I forgot the garlic, which I'll probably leave out in the future too). I'll definitely be making this again!

A potentially good stew ruined by the inclusion of apple, in my opinion. Strange combination of tastes.

I made this recipe for my family and we just love it. I used fresh herbs and Ida Red apples rather than macs. I'm on weight watchers and this was a great meal for only 8 points.
