Introduction
This is a great way to "sneak" veggies in on your family and friends (or yourself!) - the taste of the sweet, tangy apple overpowers the bland zucchini and the whole mixture melds into a thick, rich spread perfect for toast or baking.

Ingredients
-
5 large apples (any variety, I used Pink Lady and Cortland), stemmed and coarsely grated (leave peels and cores)
1 large zucchini (about 350g), coarsely grated (leave peel on)
1/4 cup apple juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix apples, zucchini and apple juice in a covered casserole
Cover and bake for 2 hours, until very broken down.
Allow to cool slightly, then run through a food mill to remove hard pieces of core and skin.
Stir in cinnamon and add puree back to the casserole dish.
Re-cover and bake another hour, then remove the lid and bake a further 30-45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until dark brown and very thick.
Transfer to a jar and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 6 months.
Serving Size: Makes about 2 1/2 cups
