Zucchini Pie

What else can you use Zucchini for besides boiling, grilling, and Zucchini Bread? THIS! It's just like Apple Pie. No Joke. I just made it to try it out, and LOVE IT.

PIE FILLING
5 cups zucchini, cut length-wise, peeled and seeded, and sliced
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 9 inch pie crust

The recipe I found called for this oatmeal crumble topping. But I just made mine with a regular double crust pie crust. It was yummy but I'm sure this would be just as good!! So here is their recipe if you want to use it.

TOPPING
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup four
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon.


Directions
1) In a medium-sized pot, boil zucchini until tender, about 5 minutes.
2) While zucchini is boiling, combine all topping ingredients in a medium-sized bowl until crumbly. Set aside.
3) Drain zucchini and let stand in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
4) Place zucchini in a large bowl. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, cream of tartar, lemon juice, salt, and nutmeg. Mix well and place filling into the pie crust.
5)Top with Oatmeal topping or pie crust.
6) Bake at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and it stops bubbling out. Drizzle with caramel sauce or eat plain. Enjoy!
