The crust was a bit too thick for my liking. I think it would be better with a thinner, flakier crust.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think it would be better with less sugar in the filling.

Not a fan of the carrot flavor in this pie. I think it would be better with a different filling, like apple or pumpkin.
