"Z" Apple Pie

50 min

Ah Yes, The Monster Zucchini! We all have one that hides from us don't we?

But that's just fine with me because I have the Best Recipe for those big boys AND IT IS YUMMY!!!

Peel and slice through the middle of the squash length wise. Remove seeds with a spoon. Slice to resemble apple slices. Cook slices in water until just tender. Drain and place in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly. 

Mix all ingredients well and place into a 9 inch unbaked pie shell. Dot with butter.  

Top with top crust, vent. Bake at 400* for 30 minutes or until golden brown.

The first time I made this I didn't tell my family it was Zucchini, they totally thought it was real Apple Pie!

    I have made this (or a very similar) recipe several times and, like you, I didn’t tell my husband it was zucchini which he often says he “hates.” After he consumed his second slice I broke the news he was eating zucchini. He didn’t believe me! Recalling this recipe has made me think it might be great for T-Day dinner.

    • It's really is amazing how Zucchini can take on different flavors. I remember when I made it for the first time. I couldn't believe how good it was. I went door to door to make my neighbors taste it ! Yes, I was excited!! LOL
