Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups zucchini
- 0.5 cups lemon juice
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cups unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel, seed, and dice the zucchini into small chunks resembling apple pieces. You will need approximately 4 cups of chopped zucchini.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced zucchini, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook and stir for about 10 minutes until the zucchini is tender but not mushy. Set this mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold, diced butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve 1/2 cup of the crumbly mixture for the topping. To the remaining mixture, stir in the brown sugar and press half of it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the zucchini mixture evenly over the crust in the dish.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top, spreading it evenly to form a crumbly topping.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
