This torte was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try using a different recipe next time.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I might try using a different crust recipe next time.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I might try reducing the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

The filling was a bit too tart for my taste, but the crust was perfect. I might try adding a bit more sugar to the filling next time.
