Health and fertility benefits of Gooey Caramel Apple Pull-Aparts

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 Nature Valley™ pecan crunch crunchy granola bars (2 pouches from 8.9-oz box), crushed (3/4 cup)*

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 cans (17.5 oz each) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled, coarsely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
