Health and fertility benefits of Apple Filled Cinnamon Sugar Doughnuts
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 (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Flaky Layers refrigerated original biscuits
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and cored
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Caramel sauce, if desired
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 °F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Press or roll each to form 5-inch round. Cut apple into 8 (1/4-inch) rings. Place 1 apple ring on center of each biscuit. In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle about a teaspoon cinnamon sugar over each apple ring.
Wrap biscuit around each apple ring to cover completely, pinching ends together to form tight seal. Place biscuits, sealed side down, on cookie sheet.
Bake 18 to 22 minutes or until biscuits are deep golden brown. Brush tops of biscuits with melted butter, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
