Recipe by Emma Crist Grandmother's fried pies inspired these individual tarts, filled with fresh, in-season summer berries. This riff on our classic Rustic Berry Crostata uses store-bought pie crust to save time, but guests will never know the difference

Ingredients

1 box refrigerated pie crusts (two pie crusts)
2 cups fresh blueberries (about 1 pint)
1 cup fresh raspberries (about 1/2 pint)
1/3 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top (about 1 to 2 tablespoons)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, cut into 8 pieces
1 large egg
1-2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °.
Combine blueberries, raspberries, 1/3 cup sugar, and next 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
Remove pie crusts from refrigerator. Dive each crust into 4 pieces. Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into about 6-inch rounds; place on 2 lightly greased large baking sheets. Scoop 1/4 cup berry mixture into center of each round; top each with butter. Fold about 1 inch of dough over fruit all the way around to form a rim.
Combine egg and milk; brush outside of each tart with the egg wash. Sprinkle tarts with about 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar.
Bake at 375 ° for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown, rotating baking sheet halfway through baking. Let cool on pan 5 minutes. Remove to a wire rack; let cool. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

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. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
