Zuchinni Cobbler

[baymule]

I got this recipe last summer just as my squash were calling it quits. I got 2 more zuchinni and made the cobbler twice. It was fabulous, delicious, yummy, fantastic and nobody would EVER guess in a thousand years it was made with zuchinni.

I used the rest of my squash to make the cobbler tonight. We savored every bite. I have a big pyrex dish of it, so it will last several days. It is best to use the really big zuchinni, ya' know-the baseball bat sized ones. The crust mix made too much, so I put the extra in a zip loc bag and froze it for the next one. I also tweaked the recipe a little bit. I added twice the amount of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger and a dash of cloves. It made it even more yummy! Ya'll enjoy!

Don't tell them it is zuchinni and they will think it is apple....

That's it... this is getting done when we got our first zukes... still several weeks off for us though.

So I take it this is a "mock apple pie"? There used to be a recipe for mock apple pie made out of crackers, I think regular saltines. You really can't tell it from apple.

You dont have to shred the zucchini before you cook it? Just like cut it up into chunks? Sounds great, i'm going to try it, thanks!!

I cut it in half lengthwise, then in half again, so that it is quartered. I use a spoon to scoop the seeds out, then peel it. I cut it in 1/4" pieces. So easy and so good!

I am skeptical, but if I have zucc's running out my ears this summer, I might just try it!

I saw a recipe for candied zucchini somewhere...you dehydrate it. That might be worth a try too. Here's one version online...

I couldn't provide a link for zucchini cobbler on @Nyboy zucchini thread a couple days ago. Using a phone to post, so next best thing is for me to find old post and comment on it. This is really good!

I even canned the cooked filling and made cobblers later, turned out yummy! Y'all enjoy!

@journey11 I know that @SweetMissDaisy makes the zucchini candy. I bet she will post it if she sees this post.
