"My husband, Jamie, is an avid gardener and hates to see any of his work go to waste," explains Deborah Trescott of Marianna, Florida. "So we fix this dessert that tastes like it's made with apples but uses up a bounty of zucchini. It's so good, even those who don't like vegetables enjoy it."

Easy to make and tastes just like an apple crisp! I don't bother peeling the zucchini.

It taste like apple crisp. A great use for zucchini! I've made it twice in a week. I did double the cinnamon in the recipe.

I made this recipe last night and it's really good. The only thing I would change, is how much lemon juice is in it. It is almost overwhelming. Maybe it is because I used the lemon juice stuff you can buy. The topping is delicious and the zucchini really does taste like apple in it.

It was good but not great. It didn't taste like zucchini so my boy's ate it and were none the wiser.

I have been making this recipe for several years. Anyone who tries it can't believe it is zucchini. I usually use the bigger zucchini that have gotten too big to use for anything else. If my fingernail still goes into the skin easily I peel and seed them and slice them thin. I have found that it takes a long time to cook the crisp with the raw zucchini in it so i usually put it in the microwave for 10 minutes then add the lemon juice and rest of ingredients. I have put several bags of the zucchini in the freezer for later this winter.phylskil32

This was definitely worth it! If I hadn't made this myself, I would have sworn it was apple crisp and not zucchini (texture of zucchini as well as flavor)! My children loved it. I will definitely make this one again!
