This tart is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll try a simpler pear tart next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my tart turned out a bit dry. I think I might have overbaked it.

I had some trouble finding gingersnaps, but I used graham crackers instead and they worked just fine.

The crust was a little too crumbly for my liking, but the filling was delicious.
