No one ever guesses these sweet "apple" slices are made with zucchini. In fact, there isn't a bit of apple in them. What I like about this yummy recipe is that it makes a lot using economical ingredients. -Lynn Hamilton, Naperville, Illinois

ZAPPLE PIE - ZUCCHINI APPLE PIE - MOCK "APPLE PIE" MADE WITH ZUCCHINI



Zapple Pie - Zucchini Apple Pie - Mock

This mock apple pie is made with overgrown zucchini or summer squash. It's so close to the real deal that your family may not believe you when you tell them it's zucchini.

Provided by Laurie Neverman

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup butter or lard
6-7 tablespoons cold water
6 cups peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced zucchini or summer squash
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons instant tapioca
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, reserved until end of baking

Steps:

  • Prepare pie dough by mixing together flour and salt. Cut in fat using a food processor or pie blender until mixture resembles course crumbs. Gently sprinkle water over flour mixture and stir together until dough holds shape. Do not overmix. Flatten into two disks and refrigerate.
  • If you haven't already done so, fillet your zucchini. Slices should be about 1/8 - 1/4 inch thick.
  • Combine the zucchini and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg and simmer for 5 minutes longer.
  • Remove zucchini from heat. Stir in tapioca and let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place a rack in the lower third of the oven.
  • While zucchini is resting, roll out pie crust. I prefer to roll out my pie crust on lightly floured wax paper so it is easier to move around. Place bottom crust in 9 inch pie plate. Cut small slits in top crust for steam to escape (or wait to cut slits until after the crust is on the pie).
  • Spoon zucchini filling into bottom crust. Place top crust and crimp edges. If you didn't cut slits earlier, cut them now.
  • Place pie on rack in lower third of oven. Use pie drip pan and pie crust shield if desired. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 30 minutes more. Sprinkle top of pie with reserved sugar. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, more, until crust is golden and the juices are bubbling through the slits.
  • Remove pie from oven and cool on wire rack.

ZUCCHINI APPLE PIE



Zucchini Apple Pie image

I'm an RN and a patient's family shared this recipe with me when I was complaining about having too much zucchini. It tastes surprisingly like apple, most people don't realize it's not apple until you tell them. Make sure the zucchini used in recipe has skin soft enough that your thumbnail can pierce it.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 large zucchini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 ¼ cups packed brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ teaspoons cream of tartar
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Peel the zucchini. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie). Toss together 4 cups chopped zucchini, lemon juice and salt. Place mixture into frying pan and cook until tender-crisp.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well. It will be a little runny, but that's OK.
  • Place filling into a 9 inch pie crust, dot with butter, and place top crust on. Bake in oven at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right squash: Select a firm, ripe squash with deep-orange flesh, such as butternut squash or kabocha squash.
  • Peel and cube the squash: Use a sharp knife to peel the squash, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.
  • Cook the squash until tender: You can cook the squash in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, or roasting. Cook the squash until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  • Use a food processor or blender: Once the squash is cooked, use a food processor or blender to puree it until it is smooth.
  • Add spices and flavorings: Add spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, to the squash puree to give it a warm, apple-pie flavor. You can also add other flavorings, such as vanilla extract or lemon zest.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust: To save time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. If you are making your own pie crust, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before using it.
  • Fill the pie crust with the squash mixture: Pour the squash mixture into the pie crust. Be sure to spread it out evenly.
  • Top the pie with a lattice crust: Roll out the remaining pie dough and cut it into strips. Weave the strips of dough over the top of the pie to create a lattice crust.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown: Bake the pie in a preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set.

Conclusion:

Squash mock apple pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for fall. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it is a healthier alternative to traditional apple pie. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky crust, squash mock apple pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
