Health and fertility benefits of Oven-Fried Apple Pies

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 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (1 lb. 1.3-oz.) can Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Homestyle Butter Tastin'™ refrigerated biscuits
1 cup cinnamon and spice apple pie filling and topping (from 21-oz. resealable can)
4 teaspoons butter, melted

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 °F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray. In small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press or roll each to form 5-inch round. Place on sprayed cookie sheets.
Place 2 tablespoons pie filling slightly off center on each biscuit round on one cookie sheet. Fold biscuits over filling; press edges with fork to seal. Prick top of each 3 times with fork. Brush each with melted butter; sprinkle with sugar mixture.
Bake at 375 °F. for 15 to 20 minutes or until deep golden brown. (Some filling may bubble out at edges.) Repeat with biscuit rounds on second cookie sheet. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
