    MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
    1/2 c Sugar
    1/2 c A-P flour
    1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/4 c Cold butter

    In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the
    milk, sugar, salt, oil, egg and 2-1/2 cups flour; beat
    until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a
    soft dough. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to
    grease top. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate
    overnight.

    The next day, for custard, whisk the eggs, cream and
    sugar in a large bowl until combined; set aside. Divide
    dough into 4 portions.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a
    10" circle. Press each circle onto the bottom and up the
    side of an ungreased 9" pie plate. Arrange 2 to 2-1/2
    cups of fruit in each crust. Pour 1 cup custard over
    fruit.

    For topping, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a
    small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse
    crumbs. Sprinkle 1/3 cup over each coffee cake. Cover
    edges of dough with foil. Bake @ 350ºF/175ºC for 35-40
    minutes or until golden brown and custard reaches 160°.
