Description

I swear to you this tastes just like apple streusel. If you don’t tell them, you’ll NEVER know it’s zucchini. Trust me. I have fooled quite a few, including my vegetable-hating husband. It’s delicious and best served warm with ice cream. I put it in the Fruit Desserts category because that’s what it tastes like! They don’t make a category for vegetable desserts.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chopped Seeded Peeled Zucchini
  • ¼ cups Lemon Juice
  • 1-½ cup Sugar, Divided
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, Divided
  • ¼ teaspoons Nutmeg Or Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ¾ cups Cold Butter Cubed

Preparation

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook and stir zucchini and lemon juice for around 15 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine 1/2 c sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg for filling and set aside.

For crust, combine the flour and remaining sugar (1 c) in a bowl; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs (it will seem quite floury). Stir in remaining cinnamon (1/2 tsp). Stir 1/4 cup of this crust mixture into zucchini.

Press half of remaining crust mixture into a greased 8×8 square baking pan. Spread zucchini over top. Then sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg combination evenly over zucchini. There is a lot of it so make sure you get it all in the corners too.

Pour remaining crust mixture over zucchini and press a bit to even out. Spray top with spray butter/cooking spray to help it get golden brown.

Bake at 375° for approximately 45 minutes. Best served warm with ice cream!

Made this last night, so easy and so good! Tastes just like apple streusel except without the tartness.

I should have diced the zucchini smaller, but otherwise it was great!
