Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Stir the flour, 2 cups of the sugar, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add the shortening or butter and cut it into the flour with a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture looks like coarse oatmeal.
- Pour half of the mixture into a inch cake pan. Using your fingers or a rubber spatula, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and set it aside.
- Combine the zucchini and lemon juice in a large pot over high heat and cook until zucchini is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer for 1 minute more. Stir in 1/2 cup of the reserved flour mixture and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove the pot from the heat to cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour the zucchini mixture over the baked crust and sprinkle with the remaining flour mixture. Return the pan to the oven and bake until it is lightly browned and bubbly, 40 to 45 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the right zucchini: For the best results, use small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
- Shred the zucchini coarsely: This will help to create a more even texture in the crumble.
- Don't overcook the zucchini: Zucchini cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked zucchini will become soft and mushy.
- Use a variety of spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices to add flavor to the crumble. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
- Serve the crumble warm: This is the best way to enjoy the crumble's crispy topping and gooey center.
Conclusion:
Sweet zucchini crumble is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and crunchy topping and gooey center, this crumble is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
