I seriously get butterflies for the Harvest season. It truly is the loveliest smile of the year for me. Today I am sharing how to make Apple Beef stew in the Instant Pot. I already have my next two months planned out for Harvest meals in the Instant Pot.
Apple Beef stew in the Instant Pot
As per my usual experimental self, I decided to go on Facebook live to make this recipe. I never made it before. I took several traditional recipes I found for the crock-pot and the dutch oven and I made it my own. It truly is delightful and delicious and I am happy to pass along to you. If you missed my home made apple sauce, check that out HERE
It wasn’t too sweet, nor too bland. For me personally the flavor was on point. I did not add any salt to the stew, so if you like salt add to your own liking. I did however use a fabulous seasoning on the beef. When cooking in the pressure cooker you need extra seasoning.
The color of the stew was just perfect as well. Looked like a true harvest stew. I used corn starch in lieu of flour to thicken the broth. Flour tends to turn a cloudy white and I did not want that for this dish. I wanted too see all the pretty colors. I love COLOR even in my food.
Pin it, make it and Enjoy!
