Health and fertility benefits of Caramel Apple Walnut Pie Recipe

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

Pastry for double-crust pie (9 inches)
6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Line a 9-in. pie plate with bottom pastry; trim even with edge of plate. Arrange apples in crust; set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine the corn syrup, sugar, butter, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt. Cook and stir over low heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Pour over apples.
Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges; cut slits in top.
Bake at 425 ° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 °. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.
