The pears in my tart were a bit too soft. I would recommend using firmer pears next time.

I found the crust to be a bit too hard. I would recommend rolling it out thinner next time.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the filling.

I made this tart with a gluten-free crust and it turned out great! I used a mix of almond flour and oat flour, and the crust was crispy and delicious.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover pears. I had some pears that were starting to get soft, and this tart was the perfect way to use them up.
