I made this because my husband couldn't afford the candy corn. I didn't think it would be too sweet so I flavored it up with vanilla. I thought it would be too dry so I added more water. I accidentally poured half of the filling over the top of the dough and it looked like a Schroeder. It was gross and I would recommend not doing it again.
