Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 4 cups chopped zucchini*
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into cubes

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Lightly grease a 7×11-inch baking dish**, or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, 1 cup of sugar and the cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the flour into the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Combine the zucchini and lemon juice in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Cook, stirring often, until the zucchini is soft, about 10-15 minutes.  Stir in the 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cook for an additional minute.  Remove from the heat.  Stir in 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture.
  • Press half of the remaining crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.  Pour the zucchini mixture on top, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.  Let the bars cool completely before cutting and serving.
