One summer, a few years ago, we had a bumper crop of zucchini. It seemed as though we could watch them grow! I stumbled on this recipe for using zuccnini in a dessert. What a find! It's from Taste of Home. If you don't tell anyone any different, your guests will know for certain that they're eating apple pie! No kidding! Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum! Yum!
