How to Make Zucchini Apple Pie Filling

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel and thinly slice 2 medium zucchini, mimicking apple slices in size and shape.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
Gently toss to coat the zucchini and apples evenly with the sugar and spice mixture.
Pour the filling into a 9-inch pie crust.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. If making a crisp, add your topping and bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
