7 cups peeled zucchini, thinly sliced like apples, seeds removed
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Crust:
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour

Directions

Combine zucchini, dried cranberries and lemon juice in pan. Cook on medium-high heat for 10 minutes. Add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

While zucchini mixture is cooking, combine ingredients for crust. Reserve 1/2 of crust mixture to add to the zucchini mixture after cooking. Pat the remaining mixture into an 8-by-8-inch or 9-by-9-inch pan and bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. Remove crust from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread filling evenly over hot crust. Sprinkle remaining crust on top. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped topping. Yummm!
