Zucchini Pie Filling Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE ZUCCHINI PIE FILLING

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the zucchini and cook uncovered until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. Process cooled zucchini in a blender until smooth; measure out 2 cups zucchini puree.
• Stir the 2 cups zucchini puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cornstarch, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl.

ZUCCHINI PIE FILLING

Steps:

• 1. Wash and peel zucchini. Cut in half, scoop out seeds (a melon baller works great for this or a large metal serving spoon) and then cut into slices about 1/4 inch thick. I try to make them look like apple slices.
• 2. Place zucchini into a pot, add the lemon juice and bring to a boil, then simmer and cook for 15 - 20 minutes. I like them a greenish color, not quite transparent though.
• 3. Add remaining ingredients. Tip: While the zucchini is simmering combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl.
• 4. Cook for about 3 - 5 minutes, or til thickish looking.
• 5. I updated this recipe to reflect the new guidelines regarding canning of squash which is not deemed safe. I would freeze this as you would apple pie filling.
• 6. Use as you would homemade apple pie filling.

ZUCCHINI PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x6-inch pan or a 12-inch pie plate.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine zucchini, onion, eggs, buttermilk baking mix, vegetable oil, Parmesan cheese, marjoram, parsley and pepper; mix well. Spread into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until lightly brown.

ZUCCHINI APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Peel the zucchini. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie). Toss together 4 cups chopped zucchini, lemon juice and salt. Place mixture into frying pan and cook until tender-crisp.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well. It will be a little runny, but that's OK.
• Place filling into a 9 inch pie crust, dot with butter, and place top crust on. Bake in oven at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
