Who made this dish?
Mo aimed to bring the treacle tart into the 21st century with an apple crumble twist, adding a layer of apple compote made from Pink Lady and Granny Smith apples, a crumble and apple decoration, and a side of brown butter pecan ice cream.
Mo: "I had no idea what it was. It's like breadcrumbs with golden syrup."
Mo: "I'm doing apple crumble treacle tart. I'm using a Pink Lady apple. But then Google said Granny Smith is for cooking, so I was like, why not do both?"
Mo: "No, I just thought it was like some old people thing. We don't need breadcrumbs and golden syrup."
Mo: "Yeah, it's just medieval food."
Mo: "I did practice my first attempt. It ended up setting like a really hard caramel. My mom was just like, what the hell have you done? And I was like, I can't clean this. Can you clean it?"
{Mo}: "Pastry. So it's going to be like a sweet shortcrust. I kept it really simple with this one because I felt like it's a signature, no need to do anything crazy."
Mo: "Shape's a bit off."
Mo: "I don't really do a lot of research into what to look for. I just watched two TikToks."
Mo: "The pastry is baked, so now I'm just gonna add the filling. It's going in."
Mo: "Yeah, I'm happy with that."
Mo: "These are my pecans. When I was like 13 or 14, I went to a restaurant and they had brown butter pecan ice cream on the menu, and I fell in love with it. And 14 year old me just threw everything into a pot and I figured it out. You know what, if they don't like the tart, they should like the ice cream."
Mo: "I'm doing a very last minute panic decoration of apples and a crumble."
Mo: "It's a bit anemic. I feel like it should be more colorful."
Mo: "I feel like the decoration could have been better."
Mo: "My treacle tart is an apple crumble inspired tart. And then the ice cream is brown butter pecan ice cream."
Mo: "I'm really proud of the ice cream. So for Paul to like it, 14 year old me was on something."
Nigella Lawson: "It's a lot going on."
Paul Hollywood: "It's busy. Let's see what it's like inside."
Paul Hollywood: "Very thin pastry, but I would give that a little bit longer. You've got apple sitting on top of that, which will automatically make it a little bit soggy. So you can afford to take that further with the color."
Nigella Lawson: "The apple crumble treacle tart hybrid actually works very well."
Paul Hollywood: "Your ice cream. You can feel the fat on your lips, which is a good indicator. It's a nice ice cream, but it is very sweet."
Nigella Lawson: "If you'd had a bit of cooking apple with the eating apples, blending them together, to give a bit of tang."
Paul Hollywood: "But overall it's a nice looking treacle tart. It's unusual. Well done, man."
Nigella Lawson: "Really good flavors."
