I'm going to try making this tart again with a different recipe. Hopefully it will turn out better next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tart didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

I think this tart would be even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

I'm not a big fan of pears, but I really enjoyed this tart. The caramel sauce is amazing and the crust is so flaky.
