recipe reviews for:

Zucchini Cobbler

“It looks and tastes like apple cobbler, but the star of this yummy dessert is really zucchini. The zucchini is first cooked in lemon juice until tender. Then it 's sugared, splashed with nutmeg and cinnamon, and spread over a buttery crumb mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish. More crumbs go on top, and then the cobbler is baked until golden and bubbly.”

YUM! Family didn't realize it was zucchini between the layers of crumble. With amount of filling, used 8x8 pan, leaving quite a bit of crumble after covering zucchini, so put in fridge and used on Mom's Zucchini Bread. Being diabetic, I used all Splenda in the recipe and it was delicious!

I thought this cobbler was very good and it really tasted like apple cobbler. I call it zucchini bars because you cut it like bars. I decreased the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and it was still sweet. I didn't tell anyone the difference. I am going to make it again soon.

OMG! Fooled everybody at the table - one person (who loves desserts and loves to bake) said it was the best "apple" cobbler she had ever had - and was blown away when I told her it was zucchini. I cut the number of servings, so altered the recipe in that way, but other than I may added a splash more lemon juice, it was true to the original. I am going to use the rest of the 2 HUGE zucchinis that I was given to make more to freeze for later. Thank you for an awesome recipe!

When my husband heard my daughter and I say that it tasted like apples... he didn't believe us. After his first bite he simply said "That's just weird" haha. I didn't use all the crumb mixture. It was simply too much for me. Additionally, I think I will make it will more zucchini next time. But I highly recommend this.

I made this for my family. I am always looking for new ideas for our zucchini, from our garden. This is THE BEST Zucchini recipe EVER!! I used about 7 cups of Zucchini (1 LARGE) and I added approx 2 T cornstarch when my Zucchini was finished boiling. This absolutely tastes like apple cobbler. Fam couldn't tell the difference. LOVE this recipe and will make again. Thank-you for shareing. Kay in Nebraska

Fantastic dish for a potluck! No one guessed it contained zucchini--they all thought it was apple. I ran out of lemon juice so I used ~1/6 lime juice and it was very tasty. I also substituted 2 cups oatmeal for two of the cups of flour, which makes it a hair more healthy and very tasty. What a great way to use up a giant garden zucchini that grew while we were out of town. I'm only sorry that our zucchini plant died so I can't make it again until next summer.

This was GREAT! The kids thought it was apples and couldn't believe it when I told them it was Zucchini! We all thought it was 5 STARS...The only change I made was since I was low on sugar, I added 3/4 brown sugar to the zucchini, but I'm sure it just made it richer...DEFINITELY a keeper!!!!

This turned out surprisingly well and was a great new way to use up the large quantity of zucchini we have right now. The cobbler to zucchini ratio seemed off to me, though. I didn't even use all of the topping, and I still felt like there was too much. I would make this again, but either increase the zucchini or decrease the flour/sugar/butter mixture.

I used yellow summer squash! No need to peel them. This recipe is a definite keeper. I did use extra squash, more like 7 cups instead of 5 .....always a good thing in my book when the plants are producing out of control.
