WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Carrots with Apple Glaze
Here's an easy side dish with only 4-ingredients that will help jazz up any meal.
These slow cooker carrots with apple glaze were a big hit when I recently served them alongside a yummy crock pot beer braised beef (that I will get posted soon).
Sweet and delicious, I'll definitely be making them again.
I think these slow cooker carrots would be good with orange marmalade—or apricot jam—instead of apple jelly too.
