Health and fertility benefits of Perini Ranch's Peach Crisp

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.

Ingredients

6 to 8 large peaches
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel, pit and slice the peaches. Toss the peaches in a bowl with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Place the peaches in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with the cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter and pecans. Mix gently until well blended and crumbly. Crumble the topping evenly over the peaches. You should be able to see some of the fruit through the topping. Bake until the peaches are tender, about 30 minutes.
