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.

Perfect amount of sweet and tart, though my crust didn't fully cook.
