Zucchini Cobbler

Zucchini cobbler tastes a whole lot like apple cobbler, my friends. I didn't believe it either - until I tasted it.

Ingredients 

Filling Ingredients

  • 4 medium-size zucchini about 4 cups chopped
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Topping Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ cup cold butter grated
  • ½ cup boiling water

Instructions

Filling Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a 10-inch baking dish with butter. Set aside. Peel the zucchini and slice it in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
  • Cut the seeded zucchini into small pieces and place in a medium-sized saucepan. Add lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Topping Instructions

  • While the zucchini filling is on the stove, combine the flour, sugar baking powder, salt, and cinnamon for the topping in a bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Grate the butter into the flour mixture and stir with a fork to mix throughout. Stir in the boiling water, just until combined, leaving plenty of little lumps of butter.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the zucchini in the baking dish. Bake until the crust is golden and a toothpick inserted into the crust comes out clean, about 24-28 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
