2. Add chopped onions, apples and curry powder; cook and stir 2 minutes Add broth, cider, salt, and pepper. . carrots, celery squash to pan with pork mixture Cook
3. until vegetables are Tender. You might want to add more cider at this point. I just checked the pot to be sure.
4. Add the last 2 apples after about 15 minutes if you want them to have some shape and not cook completely down into the sauce, but use your own judgement on that one.
5. Serve with sour cream, and orange peel and pepper. (the orange flavor and sour cream really make it delicious).
