Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef (96% Lean)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons smoked sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1 can (15 ounces) chili beans, undrained
- 1/4 Tsp Pennsylvania Pepper Blend

Notes
Granny Smith Apples may taste very tart when they're raw but as they cook, they create a very sweet taste profile. If you want additional sweetness, Honey Crisp apples also work well.
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven, add Olive Oil and let heat up then cook and crumble beef with onion over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink, 5-7 minutes; drain.
- Add tomato paste, spices and garlic; cook and stir over medium heat 5 minutes. Stir in vinegar and broth until blended. Add remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until apples are tender and flavors are blended, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with toppings as desired.
