I made this dish since we had lots of apples from going apple picking. It came out really good as far as all the flavors go. I'm not sure if I didn't put enough flour though at between the pie and dish because it was stuck. It came all apart when I went to serve it but my family still enjoyed the tart and wants me to make it again.

I just loved this tart. It came out so good, and everyone loved it! One thing the recipe didn't say was how thin or thick to cut the apples. I did fairly thin so they looked nice and that worked out well. I would definiltey make it again, it was a great and easy recipe.

The tart was gone in a matter of hours. Very good. I would like to try a little caramel drizzle on the top for a little added sweetness.

This was very good--not too rich and sweet--just right! I found that it was better the next day (chilled, of course); the flavors seemed to marry more. It is great with coffee for an afternoon snack or even breakfast!

Did not turn out too well for me- I think it was because the apples I used did not provide enough moisture so it was very dry. If I attempt to make this again- I will use apple pie filling.

It was fairly simple, not too many unique ingredients, things you mostly have around the house. I used homemade pie crust and I think it's much better, not as quick, but better flavor. Also, 3 medium apples lends quite a bit on apples. I couldn't fit them all in the tart even after making 2 layers, had about 3/4 c left. I'd peel & start with two and then if you need another, do that. The crumb topping was a nice touch although I think that brown sugar might have been better, will try that next time to give a richer/sweeter flavor to the topping. I used Light cream cheese & light sour cream and I think it was still just delightful. Not too sweet overall and that is refreshing. Great breakfast tart with coffee.
