ZUCCHINI "APPLE" PIE 
Use big zucchinis, but still tender enough that you can pierce the skin easily with your thumbnail. Peel, cut in quarters lengthwise, remove the seeds and slice crosswise.

8 c. sliced zucchini, cooked until tender-crisp
8 tbsp. lemon juice
Dash of salt
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/4 c. sugar
Dash of nutmeg
3 tbsp. flour
Pastry for two-crust 9-inch pie
2 tbsp. butter, cut up

Toss together cooked zucchini, lemon juice and salt. In a bowl, mix sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the zucchini and mix well. It will be runny, but that's OK. Dump the filling into a 9-inch unbaked crust and top with butter. Add top crust and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
