Zucchini Crumble

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together flour and brown sugar for crumble. Cut the cubes of butter into the mixture with your fingers, until the flour, sugar, and butter form a crumbly base that sticks together if you squeeze it in the palm of your hand. Chill the mixture until you're ready to assemble.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a wide pan with a thick bottom, stir together the zucchini, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon for the filling. Turn on the heat and bring it to a boil. If the zucchini releases a lot of water, reduce the mixture to a high simmer and until the mixture boils down a bit. The resulting mixture should be zucchini slices suspended in a liquid that's a bit syrupy but not too thick. Remove from heat.
3. In a 9 x 11 or 9 x 12 inch baking dish, spread half the crumble mixture and firmly press it down in the dish, covering the bottom 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep crumble.
4. Spoon the slightly cooled zucchini mixture on top of the crumble bottom.
5. Top the zucchini mixture with the rest of the crumble topping. Smooth it gently with your hands or a wooden spoon.
6. Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for 30 to 50 minutes, until the top is deep golden brown and the zucchini mixture is bubbling.
7. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes, and serve. Can also be served at room temperature.
