  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients.

  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the mixture, stirring for 1-2 minutes to thicken.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of apple cider and 1/2 cup of beef broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
  6. Transfer the stew to an oven-safe dish, cover tightly, and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours.
  7. Meanwhile, boil 6 large peeled potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain thoroughly.
  8. Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until creamy.
  9. Remove the stew from the oven, stir gently, and serve over the mashed potatoes. Garnish with chives.
