Print Recipe

This easy zucchini cinnamon cobbler is a sneaky, delicious dessert that tastes just like apple crisp. Made with simple ingredients, it’s the perfect way to use up summer squash and fool everyone into thinking they’re eating fruit.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups grated zucchini (about 3–4 medium)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Wash zucchini, trim ends, and grate using the large holes of a box grater or food processor. Do not peel.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until evenly coated.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and cut in with a pastry cutter or two forks until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
  5. Pour zucchini filling into prepared dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the filling.
  6. Place dish on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown and firm.
  7. Cool on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not squeeze the zucchini dry; the moisture creates the syrup. Use cold butter for a flaky topping. Let the cobbler rest before serving to allow the filling to set. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
