Evil of All Evils Half Apple Crisp


This was so positively evil of an idea, I had to do it! Of course, I don't really follow instructions, so I played with it a bit and it doesn't resemble the original at all, but more like the family recipe for apple crisp. So, I tell Janet, about it, and she answers,

"Zucchini is a vegetable...only to be used in that manner, with the acception of zucchini bread."

That's right, it's zucchini instead of apples.  Except, I wasn't totally brave, so I used a little apple. You can be your own judgment.  What I do promise is that it is delicious, or I wouldn't post it here. I picked through and sometimes I could tell the zucchini and sometimes I couldn't.

1/2 a small zucchini, peeled and cut to look like your apples. Muahahaha.
2-3 small apples, peeled, cored and sliced to the size you prefer. I like to use granny's. Better to start with the zucchini and then add apples.
1 1/14 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 cup water
1 stick butter, room temp
3/4 cup flour
1 cup sugar

Arrange apples and zucchini in a 7-9 inch pan. I like to use my dollar store 7.something inch cake pan. Add water and spices and stir them up a bit.

In a separate bowl, hand mix the butter, flour and sugar to make a nice crumbly topping. Add a touch of cinnamon and ginger to that as well. Sprinkle over top of apples.

Bake 350F for about 45 min, until top is nice and golden.

Serve to your unsuspecting guests! Wait until they gobble it all down before you tell them about the switch up.

Bon Appetite.
