These tarts were a bit bland. I think I would add some more spices to the filling next time.

The crust on these tarts was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I would use a thinner crust next time.

These tarts were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.
