My husband thought this was apple pie until he found a zucchini seed. (I didn't seed the zucchini) It was absolutely great! I've made it twice now and the whole family loves it!

This was an awesome pie. We also like a zucchini cobbler recipe from this site, but this pie has much better leftovers. The cream of tartar flavor was a bit noticeable in the resulting pie, but my husband didn't mind it. I might boil the zucchini in lemon juice like the cobbler recipe next time, and reduce the cream of tartar a bit. But it was luscious and satisfying. Note: Use young zucchini, not the giant mother-of-all-zucchini that evaded harvest. The big ones are a little stringier, resulting in a slightly off texture.

My husband was VERY SKEPTICAL. He thought this was so good, he even liked it better than a regular apple pie. I was quite surprised too. Couldn't believe it could really taste like apple pie. This recipe deserves more than 5 stars. Next time I will make 1-1/2 times the filling as we like it thicker.

1ST RECIPE I HAVE RATED - EVEN THO I HAVE TRIED OVER 100 "AR" RECIPES. USED 1CUP MINUS 2 TABLESPOONS SPLENDA INSTEAD OF SUGAR...ALSO USED 6-7 CUPS ZUCCHINI. ALL ELSE AS WRITTEN. USED HUSBAND (DIABETIC), GRAND-KIDS, GREAT GRAND-KIDS, NEIGHBORS, AS TASTE TESTERS AND NONE KNEW IT WASN'T "REAL" APPLE PIE. NO ONE WAS MORE SURPRISED THAN I AT THE EXCELLENT FLAVOR. ADDED BONUS WAS HOW WELL IT HELD TOGETHER AND CUT INTO PIE PORTIONS WITHOUT BEING RUNNY OR FALLING APART. P.S..cut the zucchini long ways, then slice (not cube) so the slices even LOOK like apple slices.

So i was CRAZY excited about this recipe. My dad brings home these HUGE zucchini's and boy was I tired of baking countless loaves of bread! I saw this and HAD to try it. I fooled a few members of my family who really thought it was apple pie. Definitely tastes like it. However, i gave it 4 stars because i felt the creme of tartar was a half tablespoon too much and i felt there was too much cinnamon but everyone felt it was okay. Other than the tartness, it was AMAZING!!!! You definitely need to make this.

Though I've been a member for 3 years, this is my first review--this pie was *that* good! I used 6 cups of zucchini and a 1/3 of the streusal topping that another reader suggested. This came out amazing--my super-skeptical husband enjoyed! Thanks so much...

I keep having to remind myself that I baked this pie with zucchini and not apples. It is impossible to tell the difference. I used the struesel topping as per another users rating, and prepared my own pie crust and it was the best pie I've ever tasted! The best part is that my husband is allergic to apples... not zucchini!! He gives it 12 out of 10 as well! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS RECIPE!!!!!!

Made with a crumb topping and only used 1c sugar. Next time I will use 6c zucchini, pie wasn't full enough. Nobody could believe it wasn't apple... even the zucchini HATERS. Definitely will make again.

I registered with Allrecipes.com JUST to rate this recipe. I've made it twice, and it's my first attempt at making any pie whatsoever. It turned out with MAJOR reviews from both occasions (most recently, Thanksgiving). It tastes JUST like apple pie, but not as overtly sweet or fruity as apple usually is. Amazing. Make this pie!

Wow, this a great recipe and a wonderful way to use those large overlooked zucchini hiding in your garden. I have made it many times and NO one can believe it is not apple. My husband said it was the best apple pie he had ever eaten before I told him. In order to cut down on some of the calories I have begun using a crumb topping instead of the top crust. It is fantastic either way. Make sure you don't forget to cook the zucchini first. I forgot the last time and the zucchini was crunchy and not nearly as good.

My husband and kids loved this pie. They aren't picky eaters but they were surprised it was zucchini! We have an over abundance of squash this year so I am pass out squash with this recipe tied to it!!!!

This recipe is fabulous. I served it to my family saying it was apple pie and to my surprise no one thought it was anything but apple pie. When I said it was zucchini no one believed me and my doubting daughter even made me show her the zucchini peels to prove it. Believe me, it's that good.

This is a great way to utilize your extra zucchini. We made zucchini cobbler as well, but the pie was everyone's favorite. I will make this again when I have extra zucchini. My kids liked this pie too!

This is amazing. If I had not have made this I would have sworn it was apple pie. Really do not like to bake so used a premade frozen pie shell and made the crumb topping also. Great way to use up the zucchini bounty.

This tastes just like apple pie! I tried skipping cooking the zucchini as another rater mentioned, but I will definitely cook them next time to get the texture right. I also used a crumb topping from another recipe and it turned out great. We'll be using this often since I have so many zucchini from my garden this year. And, I'm guessing I can put the pie together and freeze it to bake later, so I'll try that next. Thanks for a great recipe that uses a lot of zucchini!

Oh. My. Lord. Seriously unbelievable. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO TRY THIS RECIPE!!! Better than any apple pie or chocolate pie or berry pie I've ever had. Used French Pastry recipe for bottom crust and suggested crumble topping for top crust. Wow. Im still stunned by the result.
