Here's something else to do with zucchini - very, very close to apple pie!
Zucchini Mock Apple Pie
6 cups zucchini (peel, cut lengthwise, remove seeds, slice 1/4 inch thick)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vinegar
Butter
Pastry for two-crust pie
Preheat oven to 475F.
Cook zucchini slices in boiling water until barely tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from stove and drain well.
In a bowl, toss zucchini with sugars, cinnamon, cream of tartar, cornstarch and salt until well coated.
Place pastry in a 9 inch, greased pie pan. Fill with zucchini mix. Dot with butter, drizzle with vinegar. Top with crust and crimp edges to seal.
Bake 12 minutes at 475F. Reduce heat to 350F and bake about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Note: Make sure zucchini is well drained or you'll have a fiery sugar river in your oven! (This I know for a fact... )
