Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 cups peeled seeded diced zucchini (about the size of canned pineapple chunks)
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups cold butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

ZUCCHINI MIXTURE:.
In a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, cook zucchini and lemon juice for 15-20 minutes until zucchini is tender.
Add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook for a minute more.
Remove from heat and let sit.
CRUST MIXTURE:.
For crust, mix flour, and sugar in a large bowl.

Press 1/2 of remaining crust mixture into a greased 15x10 jelly roll pan.
Spread zucchini mixture over crust in pan.
Crumble remaining crumb mix over zucchini and sprinkle with the 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes.

Tips:

Choose flavorful apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices for this recipe.
Peel and core the apples: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent the skins from becoming tough.
Use a food processor to grate the zucchini: This is the easiest way to get the zucchini into small, even pieces.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the crisp tough.
Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving: This will help the crisp set and make it easier to slice.
