Homemade Carrot and Apple Delight: A Unique Recipe You Can’t Buy in Stores

—

### 🥣 How to Make It

1. **Grate & Combine:**
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots and apples. If using lemon juice, toss it in to keep the apples from browning and to add a refreshing kick.

2. **Add Flavor:**
Stir in cinnamon, sweetener of choice, and shredded coconut. Mix well. Add in chopped nuts or dried fruit if you’re going for extra texture.

3. **Chill & Serve:**
Let the mixture chill in the fridge for 15–30 minutes. This gives the flavors time to meld together. Serve it cold in small bowls or roll into snack bites.
