Pork Apple Stew

I made this the week before last but in our efforts to pack in anticipation of our house going up and our eventual move, I forgot to blog it and I forgot to take a picture... altho stew and slow cooker pics never look quite as appetizing as they are.

2 tbsp EVOO
1 lb boneless pork, cubed
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 yellow onion, chopped
3 carrots, chopped
3 sticks of celery, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp basil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp red pepper flakes
2 potatoes, cubed
1 c red wine
4 c beef broth
2 Granny Smith Apples, chopped

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.  Toss pork with flour and brown in skillet; add onion and garlic and continuing cooking till translucent-do not burn garlic.  In slow cooker, combine all ingredients, including what has been cooked in skillet.  Stir well to combine.  Heat on high heat for 3 hours.  Stir and reduce to low for 4 hours.
