MOCK APPLE PIE (ZUCCHINI PIE) 
6 c. zucchini (NOTE: extra large zucchini are preferred, they're firmer)
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Dash of salt and nutmeg
Dough for double pie crust

Pare zucchini, wash and slice lengthwise. Remove seeds. Slice like apples. Add a little water and bring to a boil in a large saucepan. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until tender. Cool and drain well. Add rest of ingredients and place into an unbaked 9 inch pie crust. Cover with top pie crust and flute to seal edges. Cut slits into top of crust for steam to escape. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes.

The lemon juice (I use bottled) is a must. Gives it an apple tartness.

YUM!! Easy to make and delicious. I reduced the precook time to about half because I like very firm "fruit" in my pies. It's a keeper.

This recipe is great but if you boil the prepared zucchini in lemon juice instead of water it tastes more like real apple pie!!
