Fake Apple (Zucchini) Pie

This is an amazing recipe I got from family friend, Joan Davidson. I have made this for pot luck and family gatherings and even my dad could not believe it was made with zucchini instead of apples. It's a great one for those "40 pounders" you don't know what to do with.

Stir together in medium saucepan:

5 C zucchini - peel, seeded, and sliced
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C lemon juice
1/4 C water
1 tsp cinnamon

Boil 15-20 minutes until zucchini is tender NOT mushy.

Add 2 Tbsp cornstarch mixed with a little cold water to thicken the sauce.

Pour into unbaked homemade or bought pie shell.

Top with Crumb Topping:
1 C flour
1/2 C Crisco shortening
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Bake 20-25 minutes @ 325-350F.

See if you family can tell the difference...
