Tips & Variations

• Extra moist: Substitute ½ cup applesauce for part of the butter.
• Nuts: Add ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
• Caramel twist: Drizzle caramel over the top for a decadent version.
• Quick version: Use a 9×9-inch pan for thicker slices; reduce baking time to 40–45 minutes.
