They will begin to dry out and love that soft texture like when you first pulled them out of the oven.
Can I Add Fruit To My Sticky Buns
Sure if you want to add in some fresh blueberries, peaches or other fruit that will be a nice layer of flavor. I have sprinkled fresh blueberries throughout in the past as well as a little cherry pie filling and both worked pretty well.
You just don't want to do too much as it can affect the texture, especially the pie filling.

- Once a sauce forms, remove from the heat and pour it all over the top of the hot biscuits. If the pecans are clumped up, spread them out with a knife or spatula.
- Best served the same day and warm.
