Ingredients

• 2 cups (grated) Zucchini
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup (melted) Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 (9-inch) Pie crust, unbaked
• 1 (for garnish, optional) Whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare the zucchini by grating it finely. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to prevent the pie from becoming soggy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Step 7

Gently fold the grated zucchini into the batter until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Pour the zucchini filling into the crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly.

Step 11

Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
