Slow Cooker Amish-Style Glazed Carrots

How to Make Amish Sweet Harvest Joy

Carrots (fresh, peeled, and sliced) – 2 pounds

Brown sugar – ½ cup

Unsalted butter (melted) – ¼ cup

Water – ¼ cup

Apple cider vinegar – 1 tablespoon

Salt – ½ teaspoon

Ground black pepper – ¼ teaspoon

Ground cinnamon – ¼ teaspoon, brings a cozy, spiced note that complements the carrots perfectly

Step 1: Prepare the Carrots

Peel the carrots and slice them evenly into rounds or sticks for consistent cooking.

Place them directly into your slow cooker.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

In a small mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, water, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.

Whisk or stir well until the mixture becomes smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 3: Combine Everything

Pour the prepared glaze over the carrots in the slow cooker.

Gently stir to make sure all the carrot pieces are evenly coated in the sweet and buttery mixture.

Step 4: Slow Cook to Perfection

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, stirring once or twice during cooking to keep the glaze evenly distributed.

Cook until the carrots are tender and the glaze has turned thick, shiny, and aromatic.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the glazed carrots to a serving bowl and spoon some of the warm sauce over the top.

If you’d like, garnish with fresh parsley or chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) for extra color and texture.

Serve warm as a comforting, sweet-savory side dish that pairs beautifully with any hearty meal.
