For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of melted butter in the topping and glaze. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the apple pie filling for extra warmth. Toasted nuts provide a deeper, more complex flavor. Toast the walnuts or pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until fragrant. If you don't have apple pie filling, you can use 4 cups of peeled and chopped fresh apples tossed with 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
