Recipe Introduction

This is one of the most amazing recipes! I serve it without telling anyone the main ingredient and they refuse to believe me when I tell them that it's seeded zucchini and not apples!!! You'll never be able to tell the difference... I promise!!!

List of Ingredients

Base/Topping:
4 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cup cold margarine

Filling:
8--10 cups seeded, peeled and cubed zucchini
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg



Recipe

For base and topping:
In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside 3 cups. Pat remaining crumb mixture into bottom of a well-greased 10x15 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly golden.

For filling:
Pour zucchini cubes in saucepan with lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook zucchini until fork tender. Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. (Mixture will be thin). Spoon over crust (with juices). Sprinkle with the reserved crumble mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until golden. Cool and serve.
