When I realized I had cinnamon grahams I decided to change this a little and make Spice Delight instead of Cherry :) What I did was skip the optional cherry topping and add some speculaas kruiden (spices for Dutch speculaas cookies, similar to pumpkin pie spice). Specifically, I halved the recipe (baked in an 8x8) and added 1/2 tsp of the spices to the filling. I also cut the sugar to 1/4 cup and had to add an extra 1 1/2 Tbsp butter to get the crumbs for the crust to hold together (and it was still a bit crumbly). I was unsure about the short bake time but it was perfectly done after 15 min (I did bake the crust alone for 5 min before adding the filling). The end result was definitely a delight! Thanks for the recipe - I'll be making it again for sure! :)
