In my younger days, I was obsessed with this meal and constantly requested my mom to make it.

For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the filling. You can also experiment with different types of apples for varying flavors and textures. If you prefer a richer dough, substitute some of the all-purpose flour with bread flour. For a more pronounced spice flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the cinnamon-sugar mixture. To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based milk and butter substitutes, and replace eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed mixture.
