Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the crust mixture. If you want to substitute ingredients, you can use cream cheese instead of Cheddar for a creamier texture or swap margarine for unsalted butter. You can also replace the fruit filling with your favorite pie filling, such as cherry or blueberry, for a different twist. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cake mix.
