ZUCCHINI APPLE CRISP
8 cups zucchini, peeled, cored and sliced in apple-like slices.
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup sugar for mixture, & 3/4 cup for crust, & 1/4 cup for topping
1 tsp. cinnamon for mixture, & 1 tsp. cinnamon for topping
3 cups flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup softened butter/margarine
Preheat oven to 350' degrees. Place zucchini and lemon juice in a large
saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes.
Add nutmeg, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tsp. cinnamon. Blend until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
To prepare crust. Combine flour, 3/4 cup sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Pat into a greased 9x13" pan. Bake 10 minutes. Pour zucchini mixture, which will be very watery, over crust. Bake 20 minutes more. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon and sprinkle over top of dessert. Bake 5 minutes more. Taste like an apple crisp without the apples. Serve warm.
YUM!
