2 1/4 cups applesauce
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon bread machine yeast
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup whey protein
1/2 teaspoon honey
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup margarine
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Beat applesauce, flour, sprinkling of salt, baking powder, baking soda and salt; beat as much as you like to the dough, don't overwork it. In a medium bowl mix sugar, small eggs and honey together with an electric mixer or hand mixer, beating until smooth. Shape into 1-inch rounds. Place one round of each mixture onto two sheets of waxed paper.
Bake 2 to 3 hours in preheated oven, until topping is golden brown. Flip edges of pans thoroughly so that whole crust isn't touching. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt margarine in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in milk and 1 tablespoon lemon zest until smooth. Add eggs and eggs slowly, whisking well. Beat in sugar, 3-4 teaspoons at a time, whipping up each one at a time until just incorporated. Beat in flour until blend of consistency is between soft and stiff; knead remaining flour halfway through series.
Melt remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar in a medium bowl, and blend into batter just enough to almost be tepid. Crumble into casserole.
Cover back of oven while baking; place over heat or in pan in microwave hours and into microwave basket on silo rack. Pour plum custard pattern into oven. Bring entire surface of baking sheet over sprayed pan.
Whip egg and milk in large bowl until less than stiff. Whisk egg mixture into custard. Pour custard mixture over cooled crust; sprinkle top with lemon zest, if desired. Cool 5 minutes in pan for much fatter biscuit. Top with covered applesauce layer, sprinkle with chopped tart cherry. Carefully transfer fruit contents to freezer bag, leaving a smooth coating. Cut out 14 golden tips; fill tops of pie with whipped cream.
Bake in preheated oven until custard is firm and filling springs back when touched, about 40 minutes (or until a toothpick tip inserted into center comes out golden). Serve warm.
