Summer Squash Cobbler

Summer squash made into a delicious cobbler! 

I still had a chunk of squash to use up from my 13.6 pounder that my dad gave me and I wanted to make another dessert...I must say this is delicious!  If you don't have squash or you don't care to use it, you can swap it out for apples or peaches and it would be just as divine.  I love a good crumb topping so I not only put it on the top, but I also put some on the bottom to form a crust.  I love how this turned out and you can't even tell it's squash; my family thought it was peaches.  Some of us had it plain, some added a drizzle of cream on top while others had it in a bowl with milk...anyway you try it, it's scrumptious!

Summer Squash Crostata

Beautiful summer squash made into a crispy crostata! 

 

My dad gave me a squash...not just any squash; a squash that weighed 13.6 pounds!  He grows them every year although he's not quite sure what kind they are.  They're somewhat like a zucchini, but they really don't have any seeds, they're light orange inside and green on the outside.  I was eager to try it so I got right to work!  The first recipe I made I just chopped some up, added some sausage and cheese then baked it in the oven...nothing special, but that's what my daughter wanted.  I wanted more of a stuffed style so I cut a chuck off, filled it with chicken, bacon and gouda...scrumptious!  Then I made two desserts and froze the rest.  This Squash Crostata is a simple recipe, it tastes delicious and it's a great way to sneak some veggies into your diet.  Honestly, I never told my family it was squash in the desserts.  They tried it, thought it was fruit and I left it at that...if you don't tell, I won't either!
