I had problems with the crust. I wasn't sure if the almonds were to be ground but I thought so. So...I overprocessed the crust ingredients and they turned oily. At that point I should have put the crust in the refrigerator for a bit before baking, but I didn't. Despite the fact that the crust ended up like a big flat cookie, it made no difference to the end result which was fabulous! My husband and guests loved it - as I did (the biggest critic of them all!).
