In fact, not all of us love carrot pies. For example, my husband will never eat such pastries, serve him pies with onions and eggs, the recipe of which you can see. But those who love carrot pies will definitely appreciate this recipe, because the pies are very juicy and sweet.

There are a few other great variations of the Carrot Pie recipe besides the suggested one, but they are just a continuation of this basic option. The fact is that you can sweeten carrot pies not only with sugar. We can reduce the amount of sugar added to each patty and add crushed dried apricots or raisins to the filling. It turns out quite unusual and tasty varieties of pies with carrots. I really like them, because in general I have tender feelings for dried fruits. Do not forget that such pies will be very useful for the body. After all, raisins and dried apricots, as well as other dried fruits, are a real accumulation of useful vitamins and elements. So, if you wish, you can diversify the traditional version of pies with carrots.

I can also note that the proposed pies on yeast dough will be excellent both baked in the oven and fried in a pan. You just need to decide how important the fat factor is for you, because I know a lot of girls who forgo fried pastries for their flawless waists. We will make pies in the oven. But remember that in both cases, the pies are very tasty. So for you, dear readers, a recipe for carrot pies with step-by-step photos.

Three carrots on a coarse grater. Fry in oil, first without a lid, then under the lid. Salt a little. Carrots should not become very soft, that is, 10-13 minutes of frying will be enough.
