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°.
