Roll the meat in the flour mixture until well coated.
Heat the oil in the potjie and sauté the onion and celery until soft.
Add the meat and brown.
Add the stock and apple juice and simmer until the meat is nearly done.
Add the potatoes and simmer until nearly done.
Finally, add the carrots and diced apple and simmer until all the ingredients are tender and a thick sauce has formed.
In the meantime, prepare the dumplings and place them on top of all the ingredients in the pot 30 minutes before the end of cooking time.

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture on top of the ingredients in the pot and simmer for 30 minutes or until the dumplings are done.
Serve with rice. Serves 6-8.
