Zucchini Crisp
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 4 cups Flour
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 3/4 pounds Butter
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- 8 cups Zucchini, Peeled, Seeded, Sliced
- 2/3 cups Lemon Juice
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon, Divided
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Prepare the pastry by combining the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter or margarine until crumbly.
- Press half the mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Save the other half of the mixture for later.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.
- Cut the zucchini in slices about the size of apple slices.
- In a sauce pan, cook the zucchini in lemon juice until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the sugar, nutmeg, & only 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Simmer for a minute or two.
- Now add a half cup of the saved pastry mixture. Simmer until this thickens, stirring constantly.
- Let cool, (I didn't) & pour the zucchini mixture over the crust.
- Mix 1/2 t. cinnamon with the rest of the pastry mixture in a bowl then sprinkle it over the zucchini.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until lightly browned.
