Pear & Walnut Coffee Cake

You know there is going to be a special breakfast when you wake up to the smell of a lovely Coffee Cake baking in the oven. This is a delicious recipe and it takes a very short time to put together and have in the oven. It is filled with warm spices and fresh pears nestled in a light and fluffy cake with a nutty crumble topping. Our family loves this coffee cake and it is often times a request from returning house guest.

    1. I have not used canned pears, so I couldn't speak to your question. I do however think that if they were very firm that might work, otherwise they may overcook and be a bit mushy upon completion. If you try canned pears be sure and let me know if it works. Thanks so much for stopping by and you have a great day!
