How to Make Spicy Autumn Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced), 1 medium zucchini (grated), 1 cup grated carrots, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
  3. Add 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and toss gently to coat the vegetables and nuts.
  4. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 2 large eggs.
  6. Add the wet ingredients (step 5) to the apple mixture (step 3) and stir until well combined.
  7. Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie crust-lined pan.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
