Along with the Cinnamon Filling, there are two more fillings that can be used in this recipe. I have included the recipes to these fillings below.

Dark Chocolate Filling:
Finely grate one 4 oz Bittersweet Chocolate baking bar; gently stir in 1/2 Cup of Sugar, 2 Tbsp of Baking Cocoa and 1/2 Tsp of Ground Cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over butter in place of the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture.
