How to Make Zucchini Crisp Apple Crisp

  1. **Zucchini Mixture:**
  2. In a large saucepan, combine 3 medium zucchini (about 1.5 lbs), peeled and grated, with 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until zucchini is tender and most of the moisture has evaporated.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. Cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  6. **Crust Mixture:**
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
  8. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Stir ½ cup of the flour mixture into the cooled zucchini mixture and combine well.
  10. **Assembly & Baking:**
  11. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan.
  12. Press half of the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  13. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly over the crust.
  14. Crumble the remaining crumb mixture over the zucchini filling. Sprinkle with an additional 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  15. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
