Cinnamon Sugar Topping Tips:
You can adjust this to your liking. We include our ratio to what we prefer. However, you just can’t mess up on the topping with the amounts you choose to use. Grocery stores also sell premade cinnamon sugar. You can also leave out the nutmeg. Powdered sugar is also a nice alternative.
