Notes
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft) No changes.
You can soften brown sugar by sealing it in an airtight container with an apple slice for a couple days.
Walnuts would make a nice stand-in for the pecans.
Serve these moist, rich, delicious coffee cake twists on a silver platter lined with doilies at your next tea party.
