How to Make Carrot & Apricot Crackers

To make these crackers, a food processor or high powered blender is necessary.  But, that makes preparation quick and easy!

First, add all ingredients to food processor.  Blend for about a minute.  The mixture should be sticky and crumbly, but hold together when pressed into a ball.

Remove cracker mixture from the food processor and roll into a ball.  Then, flatten the ball and roll between two sheets of parchment paper with a rolling pin.  Try to roll the dough into a rectangular shape, about ¼" thick.

Next, remove the top layer of parchment and cut the crackers using a knife or pizza cutter.  Note: the crackers do not need to be cut all the way through.  You can go back and "perfect" the cut after baking, while the crackers are cooling.

Transfer the crackers (on parchment) to a baking sheet.  Place in a preheated oven and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Depending on the cracker size and thickness, baking time will slightly vary.

Lastly, remove the crackers from the oven and cool to room temperature on a wire cooling rack.  Now is the time to fully separate the crackers and make sure they're cut all the way through.

Best Way to Store Homemade Crackers

These crackers store well at room temperature for up to a week.  Simply place them in an air-tight container (I use THESE) and set in your pantry.  They can also be kept in the fridge up to two weeks.
