Low GI “Apple” Crisp
"One of the toughest concepts of the Sugar Busters and other low GI diets is the limitation to consume fruit all by itself, not mixed with any other ingredients. Here is a mock apple Crisp that is acceptable because it utilizes zucchini, a vegetable that has a low GI value. People never guess that this dish contains zucchini."

I made this for dessert last night and it was fabulous. It completely fooled my 11 year old who refuses to eat squash. I did not have any large zucchini so I used two smaller ones and the seeds were small enough that I did not have to remove them. -
Delish! Fructose is a natural fruit sugar and can be used by diabetics. It is not the same as high fructose corn syrup. -
Very tasty but I am VERY concerned because fructose is NOT healthy--it is the "trans-fat" of all sugar.
