Zucchini Pie

Try it! It’s good! And it’s a vegetable;)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Servings: One pie-8 slices

Prep Time: 20 minutes   Cook Time: 70 minutes approx.  

Ingredients

4 cups peeled and thinly sliced zucchini
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 nutmeg
3 tbsp. tapioca

Directions

Cover zucchini with boiling water for 15 minutes, drain. Add remaining ingredients. Place in unbaked pie shell, dot with butter and sprinkle with 5 Tbsp. of lemon juice. I prefer Minute Maid lemon juice (yellow plastic bottle-found in my grocer’s freezer-near the lemonade-the plastic bottle is in a black box labeled Minute Maid). Cover with the top crust. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes and at 375 degrees for 60 minutes or less–depends on your oven.
