Health and fertility benefits of Pear and Apple Crisp

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

4 can sliced pears in light syrup
1 can apple pie filling
1 c. old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. butter or margarine
Whipped cream or softened ice cream (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In shallow, 2-quart baking dish, combine pear slices and pie filling.
