This "mock apple" dessert relies on zucchini. Peel the zukes, and no one will now you're serving squash for desert.
- 6 Cups zucchini, quartered lengthwise and sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
- 3/4 Cup brown sugar (divided)
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger or fresh is better
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter (for a vegain version, use coco oil)
- 1. Lightly oil a 9-inch pie plate. While the oven preheats to 375 degrees, simmer the zucchini and lemon juice in a medium-size saucepan.
- 2. After about 15 minutes, when the zucchini is soft, add 1/2 cup of the brown sugar along with the cinnamon and ginger. Cook for 5 minutes.
- 3. Remove a few tablespoons of liquid from the zucchini mixture. Dissolve the cornstarch in the liquid. When no lumps remain, return the liquid to the zucchini mixture and stir.
- 4. Move zucchini mixture to pie plate.
- 5. Mix the oats with the remaining brown sugar, salt and butter until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- 6. Spread the oat mixture over the zucchini and bake for about 20 min or until it's brown on top.
