I Can't Believe It's Not Apple!


Lately I've had an excess of zucchini lying around so I've been looking for every recipe I can that uses the stuff. This one I tried today was great. It pretty much tastes like apple crisp, but there's not a single apple in it! I'm going to give it two thumbs up. (ps I put in a little extra sugar and halfed the recipe)

ZUCCHINI CRISP
from Allrecipes.com

Ingredients:
8 cups cubed peeled zucchini
3/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping:
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cold butter or margarine

Directions:
In a bowl, combine the zucchini, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish.
For topping, combine brown sugar, oats and flour in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over the zucchini mixture. Bake at 375 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until bubbly and the zucchini is tender.

I may have to soften on my "NO ZUCCHINI" stance just to try this stuff.

Aerie has a book that lists several vegetables. The last is zucchini, which she calls "bikini." So, I guess you could call this "bikini crisp." It looks delicious!
