The crust is a little thicker and yummy, the filling is just the right amount of tart, and the sugar on top is the perfect mix for a great bite.  You won’t be able to eat just one!

They also make for a gorgeous display.  Add some fruit around a pretty cake plate and garnish with some lemon zest and your set!
