Honey Glazed Carrots with Apples

When I was a little girl, my favorite vegetable was always cooked carrots.  Not surprising, my mom cooked carrots every which way since that is what I liked. I also know as a parent, if your child really likes a particular vegetable, you cook it!  After all of these years, I still love carrots.  It just happened that my neighbors went apple picking and surprised me with a wonderful bag of apples.  Carrots and apples, two of my favorites.  So out came my stash of recipes from my mom and I made one of my favorites, Honey Glazed Carrots with Apples.  This recipe is perfect for fall, a great accompaniment to roasted meats, chicken or turkey.  I hope you enjoy carrots as much as I do!
