How to Make Zucchini Dessert Squares
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve 3 cups of the crumb mixture. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups grated zucchini and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until zucchini is tender-crisp.
- Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Cover and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Pour the zucchini filling evenly over the pre-baked crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved 3 cups of crumb mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
