Hello group! We haven't had any recipes posted in a while and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in trying a mock apple pie made from zucchini? Make it when you have free time in the the first two weeks of September and then discuss on the third/fourth week??
Here it is if anyone is interested: Pastry for single or double crust pie, as desired 5 cups zucchini (peeled and seeded, sliced as you would apples) 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch of salt 1/4 teaspoon allspice 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 2 tablespoons cornstarch or flour Slice zucchini like you would a apple. Cover with boiling water, boil til just tender; drain and set aside until cool. Drain very well or pie will end up being runny. Mix dry ingredients. Gently toss with the cooled zucchini. Place into a unbaked pie shell, place top crust (if using) on, crimp edge and vent. Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 10 minutes, turn down to 350°F (175°C) (175*) for the 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Serves 6 to 8.
It sounds good, but now I want a real apple pie! I'll pass this recipe on to anyone who has an abundance of zucchini.
