I have lots of zucchini at my house! I have been on the look out for great recipes for using it up. My husband won't eat zucchini unless it's in bread. Last week I made a mock apple pie using zucchini. I wish I would have taken a picture because it looked just like my pie had Granny Smith Apples in it. My husband ate 2nds and 3rds and has no clue that the pie was made with zucchini. I thought I would share the recipe:
Mock Apple Pie
1 pie crust, unbaked
5 c. sliced zucchini, peeled and remove seeds
3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 c. real lemon juice
3/4 c. water
Topping:
1 c. flour
1/2 c. brown sugar
6 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
Bring the zucchini, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and water to a boil and simmer until the zucchini is soft. Pour into the pie shell and then put the topping on. Bake the pie at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
