20. It has never failed and has never failed to please.
21. The original recipe calls for the blanched almonds, but I prefer the taste and texture of walnuts or possibly pecans.
22. I also recommend using Granny Smith apples, and unsalted margarine can be used in place of vegetable shortening.
23. Butter is best for the topping.
24. The full quantity of sugar is too much for my taste.
