For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of softened butter. Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar topping for extra warmth. This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Just cover it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
