Pork Apple Stew

This is a recipe that I used about a month ago. 50c/lbs gala apples at Vons right now! I'd eventually like to try this with granny smith apples, and a home-cooked broth. The recipes linked were used as guides, definitely did not follow them very well. Note: measurements are not accurate. That's not how I cook.

Ingredients

1 (4-pound) pork loin, cut into 3-inch cubes and lightly floured
2 tablespoons grapseed oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 chopped onions
2 carrots, pared, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
4 apples, peeled, cored, quartered

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

2 Large potatoes

2 tablespoons red wine

1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork cubes and brown on all sides, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to plate, season with salt and pepper.
2. Add onions, potatoes, carrots and apples to skillet and cook, stirring often, until onions begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add red wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a 4-quart slow cooker and top with pork cubes.
3. Cover and slow-cook on High for 1 hour, then on Low until pork is tender, about 5 hours.
4. Skim off fat from surface of cooking liquid.
5. Stir gently and serve immediately with warm bread.
