Ingredients

1-1/2 cups potatoes
2 pounds stewing beef cubes
7 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon thyme
3 tablespoons canola oil
1-1/2 cups carrots
1 cup onion
1/2 cup celery
1 cup apples, peeled
2 cups apple cider
1-1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Preparation

Dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and soak or double-boil to reduce potassium if you are on a low potassium diet. (See details in helpful hints).
Mix together 3 tablespoons of the flour, black pepper and thyme.
Coat beef with flour mixture.
In a skillet heat oil and brown beef pieces. Set aside.
Slice carrots, dice onion, celery and peeled apple.
In Crock-Pot®, layer ingredients as follows: carrots, boiled potatoes, onions, celery, browned beef, and diced apple.
Mix together cider, 1 cup water and vinegar.
Pour over ingredients in Crock-Pot and cook on low setting for 8-10 hours.
Before serving, turn Crock-Pot on high. Mix remaining 4 tablespoons flour with 1/2 cup water. Stir into Crock-Pot to thicken stew.

Helpful hints

Potatoes are very high in potassium but you can remove part of the potassium by using one of these methods:
Double cook method: Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and set aside.
Leaching method: Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of warm tap water and soak for 2 to 4 hours. Drain and set aside.
If you are not on a potassium restricted diet you can skip the above step.
