Health benefits of Lazy Cobbler

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

25 charcoal briquettes (15 below dutch oven, 10 on top)
2 can sliced peaches in syrup
1 package cake mix (white, yellow, or spiced)
1/3 stick margarine
ground cinnamon

Instructions

Light briquettes and allow to come to a glow.
Place a 12-quart dutch oven over 15 briquettes. Pour contents of peach cans into oven. Spread dry cake mix evenly over peaches. Sprinkle cinnamon over all to taste. Cut margarine into equal slices and place in checkerboard pattern on top. Place lid on top of oven. Add remaining hot briquettes.
After 30 minutes, remove a few coals from the bottom of the dutch oven and place them on top of the dutch oven (to complete the browning process on the top of the cobbler). Bake for about 15 more minutes or until done. Spoon out cobbler and serve in bowls.
