Easy Zucchini Cobbler

It looks and tastes like apple cobbler, but the star of this yummy dessert is really zucchini. The zucchini is first cooked in lemon juice until tender. Then it 's sugared, splashed with nutmeg and cinnamon, and spread over a buttery crumb mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish. More crumbs go on top, and then the cobbler is baked until golden and bubbly.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Place zucchini and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Stir in 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Simmer 1 minute longer, remove from heat, and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir 1/2 cup crumb mixture into zucchini mixture.
