Health and fertility benefits of Lattice Apple Sheet Pie

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

Ingredients

5 pounds mixed apples, such as Granny Smith, Gala and McIntosh (about 12 apples)
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

NotesWhen measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
