Health and fertility benefits of Pumpkin Cheesecake Fries

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

1/3 c. pumpkin pie filling
1/3 c. cream cheese, softened
12 slices soft white bread, crusts removed
6 tbsp. butter
1 c. cinnamon sugar
Caramel sauce, warmed (for serving)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together pumpkin pie filling and cream cheese until smooth.
Using a rolling pin, roll bread slices into thin, flat squares. Spread a thin layer of the pumpkin-cream cheese mixture over each slice and roll up tightly. These are your “fries."
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add the pumpkin fries to the skillet, seam side-down. Cook, turning often, until all sides are golden, about 3 minutes. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add more butter before adding more fries.
Roll cooked pumpkin cheesecake fries in cinnamon sugar until coated. Serve warm with caramel sauce for dipping.
