The tart was a bit too tart. I would use a sweeter variety of apples next time.

The apples were not caramelized enough. I would cook them for a longer period of time next time.

This tart is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I love the rustic look of this tart. It's not perfect, but that's part of its charm. The taste is phenomenal. The apples are perfectly caramelized and the crust is flaky and buttery.

I'm not a big fan of apple pie, but I love this tart. The crust is so flaky and buttery, and the apples are perfectly caramelized. I could eat a whole tart by myself!

This was my first time making a French apple tart and it was surprisingly easy. The instructions were clear and concise. The tart turned out beautifully and tasted even better. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made this tart several times and it's always a hit. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of cinnamon to the apples. It gives it a nice warm flavor.
