- For added flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple pie filling before mixing it with the cinnamon rolls.
- To enhance the richness, you could stir in some chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
- If you prefer a gooier texture, try using homemade apple pie filling instead of canned.
- Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary. Aim for a golden top and a fully cooked center to ensure the best results.
