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). Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 peeled Bosc or Bartlett pears, cored and coarsely chopped (about 3 3/4 pounds)
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °.
To prepare filling, combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well. Spoon filling into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
To prepare topping, combine matzo cake meal and next 5 ingredients (matzo cake meal through allspice) in a medium bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add egg white; stir well with a whisk. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal; sprinkle topping over filling.
