Mock Apple Crisp

1 large zucchini with skin and seeds removed.

2 Tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white flour

1/2 cup rolled oats ( not instant )

1/4 cup butter

(1) Cut zucchini into 1/4 inch pieces resembling apple slices.

(2) Place slices into a plastic bag and sprinkle with the lemon juice.

(3) Shake to coat

(4) Combine sugar and cinnamon

(5) Add to the bag and shake well

(6) Place zucchini slices in a decorative circle into a round 9 inch baking pan.

(7) In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, oats and flour.

(8) Cut in the butter

(9) Sprinkle over the zucchini slices. Nuts may be added at this time also.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes

I like to serve it warm with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream; or if cold, whipping cream

This is really a good recipe to use some of those fast growing squash and be able to fool almost everyone eating the dessert. Kids love it! ( Just don't tell them it's squash until after they've eaten )
