Ingredients

1 cup crumbled dry apple chips
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Grind the apple chips to a very fine powder in a spice grinder. (The drier the powder, the better and the rub will last longer without clumping.) Transfer to a bowl.
Grind the peppercorns, coriander seeds and allspice into a fine powder and add it to the apple powder.
Add the sugar, salt, paprika, ginger and cinnamon to the apple powder mixture and combine well. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 30 days.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

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.
