This is a fantastic recipe! I made if for a family get together, and it was enjoyed by all! It was easy to put together, and texture of the crust was perfect. I don't have a 10-inch tart pan with a removable bottom, so I used a 10-inch springform pan (which worked well). I'm looking forward to making this again and perhaps experimenting with the filling!

I brought this healthy linzor torte pie to work this morning and everyone is just raving about it. This is wonderful recipe! A most definite keeper. I used a buckwheat honey which is really very flavorful (which I like) and the crust tasted beautiful, the timing was also good, it's creates a nice jelly centre with a tender crispy crust treat at the end. Thanks so much for a great post.
