Apple and Pear Pies
As seen on TV
Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Part of Connie's classic retro trolley, built around tinned fruit and custard.
Connie: "Too much fruit? Custard. It's got to have custard."
Connie: "The apples and the pears for the pies, I don't want them to go mushy."
Connie: "Rolling up the pastry for my pies. Filled them with apple, put them in the oven."
Connie: "I've run out of pastry, so I'm going to get these ones in the fridge and then make some more."
Connie: "This is the last one. They're going in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes. All done."
Connie: "Because I've got no custard for the judges. Where's my jug?"
Connie: "Apple and pear pie."
[Showstopper: a retro dessert trolley of at least three individually portioned desserts, eight of each, with at least one baked element. 4 hours 30 minutes.]
Paul: "It needs custard. Pastry's a little bit tough."
Nigella: "I like the apple to be soft."
Paul (trolley overall): "God, it's like being back at me nan's. I don't know what to start with."
Nigella (trolley overall): "I mean, the look is perfect. That really could be in a magazine from the 70s."
