- Preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish to ensure nothing sticks.

- To finish, evenly sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon and dot with slices of butter. These final touches will add layers of flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
