Beef and Potato Stew with Apple Rice

This hearty stew is perfect for a cold day and incorporates the sweetness of apples with savory beef and potatoes.

1. Start by browning the beef in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the diced potatoes and Maggi soup cubes, and enough water to cover the mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beef and potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.
3. While the stew is simmering, cook the rice according to package instructions, substituting apple juice for water.
4. Once the stew is done, stir in the diced apples and let cook for an additional 5 minutes.
5. Serve the beef and potato stew hot with a side of the apple rice. Enjoy!
