Zucchini Cobbler Recipe

THIS IS my surprise dessert! No one ever guesses that the "secret ingredient" is zucchini. Everyone says it tastes like apples. This cobbler is a great dessert to make for a potluck supper or to serve a crowd. It's been requested time and again in my house, and I'm always happy to make it. -Joanne Fazio, Carbondale, Pennsylvania

I have been making this recipe for YEARS! Great recipe for a bumper crop of zucchini. Because I have a garden which yields tons of this veggie, I make many batches of the zucchini filling, freeze it, and then defrost for a quick dessert all winter long. All you have to do is make the crust. Everyone loves this!

I loved this recipe...and NO ONE could believe it was zucchini....I did cut the sugar in crust to 1 1/2 cups and to 2/3 for the filling. I increased the lemon juice to one cup and used 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon..(I dont like nutmeg). Also added chopped walnuts....serve warm or cold...it is just GREAT!!!!!

Fantastic flavor! Though I used a 9x13 pan, and didn't cook my zucchini over much, which left me with good chunky texture. I also added some allspice and powdered ginger. A definite keeper!

She is correct: this is an easy recipe and tastes like apples. The crust is yummy.

This recipe was great. I think next time I make it I will use more zucchini filling!!

I was skeptical and thought there was no way that this could taste like apple. I was wrong! These bars are the answer to an over abundance of zucchini. Yummy! Even my kids (who hate zucchini) gobbled them down!

My husband did see the recipe card while I was cooking and made a weird face as zucchini are certainly not his favorite. When I served the cobbler warm with ice cream, he gobbled the whole thing with a smile on his face saying he would never have guessed what it was. Needless to say he was quite apprehensive after seeing what was in it. I would definitely reduce the proportions for the crust to 3 cups flour, 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 cup butter. Turned out wonderful!
