Zucchini Pie

This one is going in the Not-So-Much File.  It was actually one of my first desserts to get tossed because it had gone bad.  We all had a slice and that was it.  There was no going back for more! 

Zucchini Pie or Faux Apple Pie

5 C. Zucchini – peeled, seeded and cut into apple size slices
1 box refrigerated pie crust
1 C. sugar
1/4 C. Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon Allspice
1 1/2 teaspoon Cream of tartar
2 Tablespoons Flour
pinch Salt

Boil zucchini for 2 minutes, drain and set aside to cool.

Unroll one pie crust into 9" deep dish pie pan.


Mix together all remaining ingredients.  Then gently stir into boiled zucchini in a large bowl.

Pour into a store bought pie crust.  Then cover with the second store bought pie crust.

Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.  Then turn down to 350 for another 20 minutes. Cover the crust edges with a pie cover or tin foil if they start to brown too much.

Buttermilk Pie

The Hubby requested a non-pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner. So, when searching the net, I happened upon this recipe.

Thanks to Paula Dean and foodnetwork.com for the original recipe.

The following has been modified by me.

This pie was really good. AND really simple to make. It will go in my recipe box and will be made again!

Buttermilk Pie
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup biscuit mix
1/3 cup butter, melted

Put all ingredients in a bowl and blend for 1 minute with a handheld electric mixer. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes.
