The crust on these tarts was a bit soggy. I think I would pre-bake the crust next time.

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

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but I still really enjoyed these tarts. The brie and pecans were a great combination.

These tarts are so delicious! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The crust is flaky and buttery, the filling is creamy and sweet, and the pecans add a nice crunch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the tarts were still a bit bland. I think I would add a little more salt and pepper to the filling next time.

These tarts were a hit at my party! The combination of the sweet apricots, salty pecans, and creamy brie was divine. The crust was flaky and golden brown, and the filling was perfectly gooey.
