Health and fertility benefits of Marshmallow 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). Apples will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)

Ingredients

8 large Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced
1/2 cup white sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a bowl, mix the apple slices, white sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon together until thoroughly combined; spread out into a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a separate large bowl, mix the melted butter with nutmeg and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon; stir in the brown sugar, oats, 1 cup of flour, and mini marshmallows until thoroughly combined. Spread the marshmallow topping evenly over the apples, and gently flatten the topping to a smooth layer.
