"Z'' Apple Pie


Ah Yes,
The Monster Zucchini!
We all have one that hides from us don't we?

But that's just fine with me because I have the Best Recipe for those big boys ;)
AND IT IS YUMMY!!!
*
"Z" Apple Pie
*

6 cups Zucchini ~ peeled, seeded, sliced
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons Cream of Tarter
1 1/2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
Dash of Salt
**

Peel and slice through the middle of the squash length wise. 
Remove seeds with a spoon.



Slice to resemble apple slices.


Cook in water until just tender.  Drain and place in cold water for 5 minutes.
Drain thoroughly. Mix all ingredients well and place into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell.  Dot with butter.  
Top with top crust, vent. Bake at 400* for 30 minutes or until golden brown.


The first time I made this I didn't tell my family it was Zucchini,
 they totally thought it was real Apple Pie!

      Thank you, it is. Crazy how the Zukes take on the spices flavor to make it taste just like Apple. ♥

    Deb, I knew about a vintage mock apple pie made with Ritz crackers, but this is the first one I've seen made with zucchini. I love how the seeded slices look like apple slices.

    It looked like apple pie, I would not have known if I hadn't read the recipe. That's a great way to incorporate zucchini.
