That said, yours does look very nice and it is hard to believe from looking at it that you struggled at all. You are such a pro!Kaytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892296035070233639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2904224777464805669.post-36388127328206281782015-09-28T15:23:57.552+10:002015-09-28T15:23:57.552+10:00I thought and felt same!

Your tart turned out very well. Can't agree more that the amount of apple in the recipe is way too much. I cut back on the apples.
