What went well with our apple torte was our time efficiency, we were able to get both our cooking and cleaning done. What didn't go so well was our ingredients, we made a mistake with how much sugar we should have put in ours so it ended up becoming really sweet. What we would change next time is the amount of sugar and other ingredients we put in it. What we learned in our class that helped with the recipe is to make sure every thing is done evenly.
