Health and fertility benefits of Apple of My Pie

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 ounces apple brandy, such as Laird's
1 ounce cinnamon liqueur
1 whole slice apple pie, preferably with streusel topping
6 ounces apple juice
Pinch ground cinnamon, for garnish
2 wedges Cheddar, for garnish, optional

Instructions

Cook's Note: If the pie is not streusel-topped, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar into the blender with the pie.
Combine the brandy, cinnamon liqueur and pie in a blender and blend on high speed until very smooth, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour into 2 up glasses, sprinkle the cinnamon on top and garnish with a wedge of cheddar cheese on the rim, if using. Apologize to the rest of the pie for blending that 1 slice of pie. Continue drinking.
