This is a fun recipe to modify.  If you have leftover cinnamon or pumpkin bread you can make it using that bread instead.  You can also insert fruit into the bottom and middle layers (it will dry out on the top layer).  I like to serve it with Crockpot Apple Pie Filling instead of using maple syrup or honey.
