Wow! This is amazing! The whole family absolutely loved it! I halved the recipe since I only wanted to do one pie to try it. I used a graham cracker crust since I am out of the frozen pie crusts (and hate the mess of making my own) I ended up baking it for an additional 10 minutes since it seemed a bit loose, and it probably actually could have baked for even longer since the center was a tad soft. This is definately our new go to recipe to use up zucchini! Thank you so much for sharing!
