Condensed milk is cow's milk from which water has been removed. Sweetened condensed milk has sugar added; it is a very thick, sweet product that is sold in cans. A related product is evaporated milk but evaporated milk is not sweetened and cannot be substituted for sweetened condensed milk.

Toasting nuts is an easy way to enhance their flavor. Spread whole nuts on a baking sheet and toast in a 350 degree F. oven, stirring often, or toast in a large skillet over medium heat. Nuts quickly go from toasty to burned, so keep a close watch on them. When you can smell them, they're done.

Caramel-Apple Coffee Cake is a wonderful autumn dessert but since apples are available all
year-round you can make it anytime you desire a heart-warming coffee cake. This cake has a

confectioners' sugar. But the caramel icing adds a special luxurious finish to this simple cake.
