Zucchini Crisp

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375℉ (190℃).

Mix together the zucchini and lemon juice in a large saucepan and cook over medium heat until the zucchini become tender, 28 to 32 minutes.

Stir in the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg at the last ten minutes.

Add the flour, butter, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix with a pastry cutter until forms into a crumble and coarse meal.

Pour in the buttermilk and mix well.

Stir in ½ cup of the crust mixture into the cooked zucchini.

Place half the remaining crust mixture into a 8 by 8-inch pan coated with cooking spray, pat the crust to evenly cover the pan and bake 10 minutes.

Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ (180℃).

Spread the filling evenly over the baked crust.

Arrange the remaining crust mixture on top evenly and pat down.

Sprinkle the cinnamon over and bake until cooked through and golden brown on top, about 35 to 45 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.

Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled.
