Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (peeled and thinly sliced) carrots
- 3 cups (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) apples
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons (melted) butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced carrots and apples. Set aside.
In a smaller bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, flour, and salt to create a sugary spice mixture.
Pour the sugar mixture over the carrots and apples, tossing them gently to ensure even coating.
Spread the carrot and apple mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mixture to create a crumbly topping.
Pour the 1/4 cup of water over the dish, distributing it evenly to prevent dryness during baking.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the carrots and apples are tender.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Carrot and Apple Casserole Bake!
