    Does this work with previously frozen zucchini? Has anyone tried it?

      I just made this today with my frozen zucchini and it is delicious! I had peeled, seeded and chopped it before freezing.

    Not at all! i think The lemon juice affects the texture if the zucchini, making it more like apples. I just made this today for a get together. Fooled everyone except my kids, who have been eating this for about 15 years!

      It is pretty crazy how the lemon juice does make it taste like apples! Happy to hear that it is a regular at your house like it is at mine. 🙂

    Cooking the zucchini before hand plus baking doesn’t make it mush?

      No, since it’s only simmered for a few minutes, it does not turn to mush. If you are using the really tiny zucchini that are more tender, you could probably just simmer for 5-8 minutes.

    Does this thicken after it cooks? I am preparing it now.

      Yes, it thickens as it cooks, and it thickens even more as it cools. Hope you enjoy it!

    Just made this it’s just like apple crisp. The only thing I did was 1 stick of butter with a 1/2 cup of apple sauce to cut down on fat content. Also I had to thicken it with Dutch Gel used 1 TBSP with 2/3 cup of water.

    I like this recipe much better than the pie one ’cause crumbles are so much faster to throw together than making a crust. Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’ve got a ton of overgrown zucchini that are just waiting to be made into something yummy. 🙂

      I agree Kendra, it is so nice not to have to deal with crust! Let me know how you like it if you end up making it. 🙂
