Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (grated) Zucchini
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 (9-inch) Pie crust, unbaked
- 1 (for garnish, optional) Whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the zucchini by grating it finely. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Gently fold the grated zucchini into the batter until evenly distributed.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Pour the zucchini filling into the crust and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.
Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
