Zucchini Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
    2 large zucchini
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 pinch salt
    1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
    1 pinch ground nutmeg
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Preparation
    Peel the zucchini. Cut into quarters lengthwise, then remove seeds and cut crosswise (as you would cut apples for apple pie). Toss together 4 cups chopped zucchini, lemon juice and salt. Place mixture into frying pan and cook until tender-crisp.
    In a separate bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, nutmeg and flour. Add the cooked zucchini to sugar mixture and mix well. It will be a little runny, but that's OK.
    Place filling into a 9 inch pie crust, dot with butter, and place top crust on. Bake in oven at 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for 40 minutes or until golden brown.
