Peel zucchini, remove centers and cut up as for apple pie to fill three cups. Place in bowl and mix well with:
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon tapioca
1 Tablespoon flour

Tips:

  • Use a variety of zucchini. Green zucchini, yellow zucchini, and pattypan squash can all be used in this recipe. If you use a combination of colors, your pie will have a more vibrant appearance.
  • Grate the zucchini coarsely. This will help it to release its moisture and cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the zucchini. It should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it.
  • Use a good quality pie crust. A homemade pie crust is always best, but you can also use a store-bought crust if you're short on time.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
