Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place zucchini and lemon juice in a large saucepan. cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes. Add nutmeg, 1 c sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Blend until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat.
To prepare crust, combine flour, 3/4 c sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Pat into a greased 9x13" pan. Bake 10 minutes. Pour zucchini mixture, which will be very watery, over crust. Bake 20 minutes more. Mix 1/4 c sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over top of dessert. Bake 5 minutes more. Cool. This is a good recipe, but be ready for people to argue with you that it does have apple in it.
