This recipe was really good, however it was my first time using puff pastry so I may not have rolled it out as big as I was suppose to so when I put all the filling on it, after it was done baking, it was really heavy when I tried to move it and it cracked apart! I think this may have been my falut, which is my reason for no review! But the filling was really delcious!(I was able to get one corner piece to try!) Thanks for the recipe, it was still nice to try despite MY difficulties!
