This coffee cake is a favorite of mine. It's attractive, delicious and cuts like a dream. Sometimes I use convenient canned pie filling when I want a different flavor and I'm pressed for time. -Dot Christiansen Bettendorf, Iowa

Number Of Ingredients 18

4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

These tea rings were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the dough next time.
