How to Make Zucchini Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and halve 2 medium zucchini lengthwise. Scrape out the soft centers and seeds, then thinly slice.
In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice with 1/4 cup water.
Add the sliced zucchini and lemon water to a deep skillet with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the zucchini is limp and opaque (about 10-15 minutes).
The volume will reduce by about half. Drain the zucchini, but do not rinse.
Set aside in a colander to drain further.
Fit a 9-inch pie crust into a pie pan.
In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Add the drained zucchini and 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and diced) to the bowl. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the zucchini-apple mixture into the pie shell.
For the crumb topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 cup cold unsalted margarine (cut into small pieces).
Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the margarine into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the zucchini-apple filling.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool completely before serving.
