There’s a little something extra I do to my cinnamon filling that most folks won’t catch, and that’s the whole point. I add about an eighth of a teaspoon of nutmeg. No more than that. Nutmeg is strong, and you don’t want anyone biting into a slice and thinking “nutmeg.” You want it working quietly in the background, rounding out the cinnamon so the whole thing tastes deeper.
Then I add a few drops of extract. Vanilla does the job just fine, but lately I’ve been reaching for banana. Same rule applies. Not enough to actually taste it, just enough to give the filling a sense of something different. People take a bite and can’t quite name what makes it better. That’s what you’re after.
