Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced) Zucchini
- 3 cups (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) Apples
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups (packed) Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups (packed) Brown sugar (for topping)
- 0.5 cups (cold, cubed) Butter
- 0.5 cups (walnuts or pecans) Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini slices and apple slices. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss well to coat the fruit and vegetable evenly in the mixture.
Transfer the zucchini and apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Combine oats, 0.5 cups of all-purpose flour, and 0.5 cups of packed brown sugar. Add the cubed butter, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
If desired, fold in chopped nuts to the topping mixture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the zucchini and apple mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
