Margaret was a dear friend from Church, whom I was so glad to have gotten to know,before her passing...she brought this delicious crisp to our Church picnic and I could have sworn it was apple crisp... it so good...if you have an over abundance of zucchini...this is one recipe you will just have to try... in the past, if I didn't...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CRUST AND TOPPING
4 c flour
1 1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 c butter, melted - she used margarine
1/2 tsp cinnamon - i use 1 tsp
FILLING
8 c peeled and sliced zucchini , if large seeds - remove...
2/3 c lemon juice
1 1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c chopped pecans - my addition

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. In a large bowl, mix all crust ingredients, until crumbly. In a 9 x 13 baking dish, place 1/2 the crumb mixture into dish and pat down evenly. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Cool on rack. Make filling. In a large saucepan, place zucchini, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer and cook until tender. ( I slice my zucchini thin, so the cooking only take about 8 - 10 minutes, you don't want the filling mushy.)
  • 3. Once zucchini is tender add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of topping to thicken. Cook another minute or two, until thickened.
  • 4. Remove from heat and spread on the crust.
  • 5. Sprinkle the top with the remainder of crumb mixture. Place back in oven and bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until topping begins to brown and filling is bubbly.
  • 6. Can serve warm with ice cream if desired. Delicious!
