Zucchini Apple Crisp

Do you have a lot of zucchini in your garden or from your neighbors? This is a great recipe to

fool your family and friends with. It tastes like apples and yet you get to use up 4 medium zucchini!

Enjoy the garden, this is when it gets fun!


Zucchini Apple Crisp

6 cups zucchini (about 4 medium)

1 cup applesauce

½ cup lemon juice

½ cup to ¾ cup sugar

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

½ teaspoon Nutmeg

1 ½ TB Cornstarch

CRUST

2 Cups flour

1 cup sugar

2 teaspoons Cinnamon

1 tea. Salt

¾ cup cold butter

Filling: Peel zucchini and scoop out seeds. Cut into bite size pieces, should be 6 cups.

In a saucepan combine zucchini, applesauce, and lemon juice. In a small bowl combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.

Add to the zucchini in the saucepan. Heat over medium heat until thickened, stir constantly.


Crust and topping:

Combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut butter into flour until the butter is about the size

of peas. Press half of this mixture into a 13X9 pan.

It looks like a lot of flour and dry, but it will work.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and top with the hot filling. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture over the top of the zucchini mixture. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.


Serve while hot with vanilla ice cream. If you don’t tell anyone they will never know it is zucchini instead of apples. You can also make this with apples or plums.


** Recipe can be halved and made in a 9X9 pan.

**Can also be made in a #12 Outdoor Dutch Oven, 16 coals on the top and 8 on the bottom.

To make Gluten Free use GF all-purpose flour and to make Dairy Free use Dairy Free Margarine
