This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavors were all there, and I could definitely see how someone else might love it.

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of apples. The beef was cooked perfectly, and the spices were well-balanced.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my stew turned out really bland. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'm definitely not going to make this again.
