This was quite easy and quick to prepare. I have to admit that the crust was dry. Did I overcook it? I don't think so, as it was a nice golden brown. However, maybe I did. It was tasty for sure, but mine needed some sauce or something to soften up the crust. -
This was delicious. We have to go gluten free for part of the household, so I made it with plums and a bean flour blend (not so much). I knew it had to be good, so I tried again with rhubarb and a rice flour blend and it was amazing. -
Sooooo yummy. I made it for a family dinner night and it was a HIT! making it again tonight so excited to eat it. :) -
Perfect amount of sweet and tart, though my crust didn't fully cook. -
Very tasty!
