This torte was amazing! The crust was flaky and flavorful, the apricot filling was tart and tangy, and the quark whipped cream was light and fluffy. It was the perfect dessert for my dinner party.

Not a fan of this torte. The crust was too dry and the apricot filling was too sweet. The quark whipped cream was the only thing I liked about it.

I thought this torte was just okay. The crust was a little bland and the apricot filling was a bit too tart for my liking. The quark whipped cream was the best part of the torte.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the apricot filling was a little less sweet. The crust was also a bit dry, but the quark whipped cream helped to balance it out.

I love the unique flavor combination of this torte. The apricots and the quark whipped cream are a perfect match. The crust is also very good, but I think it could be even better if it was a little more flaky.
