Apple-Glazed Carrots
Adding Apple-Glazed Carrots to your holiday meal is a great way to add vegetables without adding another vegetable casserole. Casserole side dishes are great, but they can be heavy - especially when they're served at a big meal like Thanksgiving. This carrot side dish is lighter and so delicious. The carrots' natural sweetness is complemented by its apple glaze. These carrots are truly terrific and would make a great addition to your holiday dinner menu. Whether you make them for Thanksgiving, Easter, or a family dinner, they'll really hit the spot.
