ZUCCHINI APPLE PIE
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.

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.

Steps:
- Use big zucchinis (meaty and approximately 18" long), but still tender enough that you can pierce the skin with your thumb nail. Peel and cut in quarters lengthwise, remove the seeds and slice crosswise approximately 1/4" thick. Cook the zucchini in water until tender crisp (let drain in strainer to remove liquid). Sprinkle with lemon juice. Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, cream of tarter, nutmeg, flour (and cornstarch for 9" pie) in a bowl. Add the zucchini and mix well. It will be runny, but that's okay. Dump the filling into a pie crust and dot with butter. Add the top crust and make slits to vent. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely and serve. Store in the refrigerator.
MOCK APPLE PIE (ZUCCHINI)
Steps:
- Let stand while preparing crust. Add: 1 Tablespoon vinegar 1/4 cup lemon juice 1/4 cup sugar + cinnamon Dot with butter. Cover with top crust and bake 375° for 1 1/2 hour. Might spill over in oven.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a combination of sweet and tart apples. This will create a balanced flavor in the pie.
- Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming too mushy.
- If you don't have any lemon juice, you can use vinegar instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of vinegar as lemon juice.
- Don't overmix the pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
