Nuts: If you’re a fan of nuts, sprinkle some chopped pecans or walnuts between the layers for added crunch and flavor.
Maple Glaze: Drizzle a bit of maple syrup over the casserole before baking for a lovely sweetness.
Spices: Feel free to play with the spices! Nutmeg or allspice can be delightful additions to the cinnamon.
Garnish: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
