Mock Apple Pie

In a side by side taste test, I'm not sure if I could identify the zucchini! It's THAT good!

Recipe from allrecipes.com

Ingredients
1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
2 large zucchini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 pinch ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions
1.Peel the zucchini. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie). Toss together 4 cups chopped zucchini, lemon juice and salt. Place mixture into frying pan and cook until tender-crisp.
2.In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well. It will be a little runny, but that's OK.
3.Place filling into a 9 inch pie crust, dot with butter, and place top crust on.

Bake in oven at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
