For an extra layer of flavour, try using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or even almonds work well as a substitute. Ensure your butter is properly softened for a smooth and lump-free filling. For a richer taste, consider using a combination of butter and shortening in the pastry.
