Zucchini Cobbler

This is what happens when I have an extra zucchini just chillin' on the kitchen counter.


One of my co-workers brought this into work and I just had to have the recipe! 
Everyone that takes a bit will think it was made with apples.

I've made a few changes from allrecipes.com.

Saucepan Ingredients:
8 cups peeled, chopped zucchini (I didn't chop it.  I cut off thin slices to resemble apples for apple crisp.)
2/3 cup lemon juice
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping:
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups butter, chilled
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Saucepan Ingredients: In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook and stir zucchini and lemon juice until zucchini is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.  Stir in sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Cook one more minute.  Remove from heat and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Grease 9x13 dish.


Topping: In a large bowl, combine flour and sugar.  Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Stir 1/2 cup of topping into saucepan ingredients.  Add cinnamon to remaining topping.  Press half of remaining topping into bottom of dish.  Spread zucchini mixture over top of crust.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top is golden.  Serve warm or cold.

I felt like the end product was to deep.  Next time I'm going to either cut the recipe in half and still use the 9x13 dish or make a full batch and split it between two 9x13 dishes.
