Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups carrots
- 3 medium-sized apples
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 5 minutes to slightly soften them. Drain and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples and the pre-cooked carrots.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, melted butter, ground cinnamon, flour, and salt until a crumbly mixture forms.
If using walnuts, stir them into the crumbly topping mixture for added crunch and flavor.
Spread the carrot-apple mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the crumbly topping mixture evenly over the carrot-apple base.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or dessert!
