I had some trouble getting the crust to come out of the pan in one piece, but other than that, this tart was a success. The filling was delicious and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This tart was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be perfect served with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
