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

I made this 3x's now. I used gluten free all purpose flour. And I used coconut sugar and xylitol for the sugar. It is yummy, and is a good way of using them zucchini up that grew too big.

Amazing! Took to a preschool picnic and the entire pan was gone within minutes. With excessive amounts of zucchini coming out of our garden this summer, I have made this recipe many times. Even my young child requests it. No one ever guesses it's all made from zucchini (they swear it's apple)!

Delicious dessert that was a huge hit at work. Nobody could believe it was zucchini! Only change I made was in using a 9x13 cake pan.

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.

Shared this with several neighbors and they all LOVED it as well as those in my family. Husband thought it was apples!
