Baked Carrot Casserole
with Granny Smith Apples

Of the many carrot casserole recipes, this recipe stands out as one of the best. It's ingredients are an unlikely joining of different tastes, that bake together for a lovely accompaniment to any dinner. I happened to make stuffed sweet peppers the other night and decided to forego any potatoes because this casserole completed the meal very nicely.

I would include this recipe as one of the healthy casserole recipes because other than the 2 tablespoons of flour, the small amount of brown sugar used for six servings is minimal. With the goodly amount of Granny Smith apples, I would also consider it a healthy apple recipe.


Ingredients

6 Granny Smith Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)

2 cups cooked carrot slices

1/3 to 1/2 cup brown sugar (I used 1/2 cup, but your taste may
differ from mine.)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

salt to taste

3/4 cup orange juice


Method

• Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 2-quart baking dish with
  cooking spray
  
  
• Place half of the apples in the bottom of the baking dish and follow with a layer of half the cooked carrot slices.
  
  
• Mix together the brown sugar, flour and salt and sprinkle the layers already in the dish with half of this mixture.
  
  
• Layer the rest of the apples, carrots, and brown sugar mixture
  in your baking dish.
  
  
• Pour the orange juice over the top.
  
  
• Baked in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Mix together before serving.
