This gluten-free filling can be used in a regular pie crust or a gluten-free pie crust. You can even bake it without a crust at all, like a dish of custard. A different use for the abundance of zucchini. This usually makes one pie plus about 1 cup left over, which I pour into a small baking dish and bake it like a custard.
