Health and fertility benefits of Spiced Peach 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).
Ingredients
1 can (15 ounces) sliced peaches
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
1 package (3 ounces) peach or orange gelatin
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pastry shell (9 inches), baked
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Fresh mint, optional
Instructions
Drain syrup from peaches into a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to measure 1-1/3 cups. Chop peaches and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the syrup, brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Discard cinnamon stick. Stir gelatin into syrup mixture until dissolved. Add peaches. Refrigerate until partially set, about 40 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and nutmeg until smooth. Spread over the bottom and up the sides of the baked crust. Pour gelatin mixture over cream cheese layer.
Chill until serving. Spread with whipped topping. Serve with mint if desired.
