The crust was a bit soggy. I think I would blind-bake it next time.

This torte is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I'm not a huge fan of apple desserts, but this torte was surprisingly good! The flavors were well-balanced and the texture was perfect.

This is the best apple cream cheese torte I've ever had! The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is smooth and creamy, and the apples are perfectly tart.
