This is proof that vegetables DON'T make bad desserts. You wont be able to tell the difference between this pie and an apple pie. That's because when the zucchini is fried in lemon juice, it tenderizes and gets tart just like apples. Ingredients:
2 large zucchini |
1 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
9 inches prepared double crust pie crusts |
Directions:
1. Peel zucchini.
2. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie) Gather 3 cups of zucchini and toss with lemon juice and salt, place in frying pan and cook until tender crisp.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together cinnamon, sugar, and flour.
4. Add cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well (it will be runny) Pour into prepared crust and top with second crust.
5. Sprinkle with sugar.
6. Make slits to release steam.
7. Dot crust top with butter.
8. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes then lower temperature to 350°F for another 40 minutes.
9. Cool and enjoy!
