Preparation: Rinse each apple and cut into eighths with skin, peels and everything. Place into saucepan with cinnamon, nutmeg and water.
Slice your zucchini roughly 1/4 inch thick. Enough that it stays stiff when you pick it up. Place them on a sheet pan, season with oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. You want them to be soft.
