Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium carrots
- 2 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges. Leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the sliced apples, water, honey, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let the mixture cook for 7-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the apples are slightly softened.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow the liquid to reduce and coat the carrots and apples.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional honey or cinnamon if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
