Description

Zucchini is one of those vegetables that surprises you with its versatility. Sure, it’s great in savory dishes like stir-fries, breads, and casseroles, but did you know it can also transform into dessert? This Zucchini Crisp is proof. Tender zucchini slices are simmered with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water until they taste remarkably like apples, then topped with a buttery oatmeal crumble that bakes up golden and crisp.
