I'm allergic to pecans. Can I substitute another nut?

This tart was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The crust was flaky and the filling was rich and decadent. I think I would have preferred it with a less sweet filling.

This tart is absolutely delicious! The honey, dates, and pecans are a perfect combination. I love the way the sweetness of the honey and dates is balanced by the crunch of the pecans. The crust is also perfect - flaky and buttery.
