Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 8-10 Servings

Ingredients

1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup soft bread crumbs
1 loaf (1 pound) frozen bread dough, thawed
3 tablespoons cherry or raspberry pie filling
TOPPING:
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

In a saucepan, combine the cream, sugar and bread crumbs. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat; cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, divide the dough in half; press onto the bottom and up the sides of two 9-in. pie plates to form a crust.
Pour half of cream mixture into each crust. Drop spoonfuls of pie filling over cream layer. Combine topping ingredients; sprinkle over filling.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until edges are golden brown and center is set. Yield: 2 kuchens (8-10 servings each).
