Ingredients
-
3 medium apples, cored and chopped (no need to peel)
2 medium carrots, chopped
1/4 cup honey (I like a dark amber for this)
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
pinch nutmeg
3 tbsp ground walnuts
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Combine apples, carrots, honey and apple juice in a covered casserole.
Roast for 2 1/2 hours, until carrots are very soft.
Transfer to a food processor or blender and puree (or pass through a food mill). Return to the casserole dish.
Re-cover and bake another 1 1/2 hours, then remove the lid and bake a further 30-40 minutes, until dark brown and very thick.
Stir in the nutmeg and walnuts.
Cool completely, then store in the fridge up to 2 weeks.
Serving Size: Makes about 1 cup, 8 (2-tbsp) servings
