I want to make an (Dutch) apple pie with a layer of cheesecake. As far as I know I have a few options:
- Bake a cheesecake, then simply add a layer of apples.
More or less like:
However, this is not what I want.
- Use a known recipe with a result like this:
Option 2 is exactly what I'm looking for and exactly the type of pie. I want to have crust on the bottom, sides, and top.
In the picture you can see what is to be expected. The layers will combine. But I want to have a layer like option 1. Is this at all possible without the layers combining during baking?
Apples on top seems to moisten the cheesecake layer too much, if they don't already sink to the bottom eventually.
Cheesecake on top might have the same issue, but less I guess.
I'm also not sure how the stripes of dough would hold up above this cheesecake layer.
Any tips on how to proceed or is this mission impossible?
Edit:
An example of a layer with some sort of merengue (with added starch), added before baking. To give a better picture of what I'm trying to achieve.
