"Adapted from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker. This is a very broth-y stew, but the aroma of it simmering all day is wonderful. I served this with Baked Wild Rice with Almonds."

This was a great dish to cook ahead. Had a full flavor and interesting ingredients. I found the cider a little overpowering, but believe this might simply be a personl perference for tartness.
