Health and fertility benefits of Nectarine-Thyme Crumble

Wheatgerm is a natural source of Inositol, which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS due to its ability to effectively reduce insulin resistance and improve insulin sensitivity. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

6 nectarines
6 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
6 sprig thyme
salt
3/4 c. all-purpose flour
4 tbsp. light brown sugar
2 tbsp. wheat germ
1/4 c. unsalted butter

Instructions

In a bowl, toss the nectarines with the granulated sugar, juice, thyme and a pinch of salt; let stand for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and wheat germ with a pinch of salt. Using your fingers, work in the butter until the mixture is sandy. Press the streusel into small clumps and scatter on a rimmed baking sheet.
Spoon the nectarines, thyme and any juices into 6 individual cast-iron baking dishes. Bake the nectarines for about 20 minutes, until the fruit is softened. Meanwhile, bake the streusel, stirring once, for about 10 minutes, until browned.
Sprinkle the streusel over the fruit, bake for 5 minutes longer and serve. Looking for more dessert ideas? Check out our homemade chocolate chip cookie recipes, apple pie recipes, and chocolate cake recipes.
