Ingredients
- 2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut on the bias into 2 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium heat and add the carrots. Cook for 2 minutes, then drain in a colander and set aside.
In a medium-size pot combine all the remaining ingredients, except the parsley, and bring to a simmer over low heat. Add the drained carrots and toss to combine. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to incorporate flavors. Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with parsley and serve.

I changed up the light brown sugar and used dark brown, much better flavor and far less sweet!
I also used the fresh parsley, but only about 1T. chopped just for garnish, and that was for 4 pounds of carrots or double the recipe!
Double the recipe fit perfect in my oval 2 1/2 quart crock pot for Thanksgiving, needless to say, there wasn't much leftover!
I was also asked by everyone for the recipe. This will be a staple for my dinner table as a side all of the time!
Thanks Sandra, I watch your show all the time, just to see if I can guess the color of your Kitchen-Aid mixer for that day, lol
