Zucchini Apple Pie

In my quest to feed the family, I am eternally looking for ways to hide something nutritious and in this case, plentiful. Zucchini, abundant in my garden, is popping up everywhere. Full of nutrition, delicious and if you don’t tell the family it’s a veggie, no one will know. I swear.  It’s super important to peel the zucchini the way the recipie instructs. Also make sure you do not over cook when it’s in the frying pan. If you have apple pie spice you can substitute for the spices. (Use about 2 teaspons of Apple Pie Spice). This recipie was given to me by a wise, older Amish woman and I stand by it as delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 2 large zucchini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg
  • dash of ground cloves
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • DIRECTIONS

    1. Peel the zucchini. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie). Toss together 4 cups chopped zucchini, lemon juice and salt. Place mixture into frying pan and cook until tender-crisp.
    2. In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well. It will be a little runny, but that’s OK.
    3. Place filling into a 9 inch pie crust, dot with butter, and place top crust on. Bake in oven at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

    Deal of the day, for baking your way into budget happiness:
