A really nice variation is a lemon(and/or Fiori di Sicilia!) glaze. The acidity cuts the sweetness and is a lovely complement to the cinnamon. Just use lemon juice as the liquid and add lemon oil or Fiori di Sicilia for additional flavor. I've never met anyone who disapproved once they tried it. And I always add some form of potato(potato flour, instant mashed potato flakes, leftover mashed potatoes, or boil one up fresh) for great moistness and texture.
