Chocolate Cherry Celebration Pie

To celebrate being "stickied" on the OT-Forums, I decided to make a nice sticky, cherry pie! This pie is a variation of a classic cherry pie, but with delicious bits of chocolate. If you like chocolate covered cherries, you'll love this pie.



What you need:
1 frozen Pie Crust
1 can of Cherry Pie filling (If you use the deep dish pies, be sure to get 2 cans of cherry pie filling.)
1/2-1/3 cup of good dark chocolate (I like the Ghirardelli 60% cacao chips, and the Lindt dark chocolate.)

**Tip** Do not over-do it on the chocolate, as you do not want to drown out the cherry flavor.

Dutch Crumbly Topping
What you need:
1 cup of flour
1 cup of Brown Sugar
4 tablespoons of butter, softened
1-2 tablespoons of milk

Make the topping in a mixing bowl. I usually mix the dry ingredients with the butter with a fork or my fingers. Add in the milk after the rest are pretty well combined (no big pieces of brown sugar or butter). The milk really is only used to make the topping slightly sticky, not doughy. Use sparingly.

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 400, and take a pie crust out of the freezer. After a few minutes (at least 5 minutes) place the pie crust on a foil covered cookie sheet, and bake for approximately 5-7 minutes.

Step 2. Mix your crust together while waiting (follow the directions above).

Step 3. Remove the crust from the oven, and reduce the heat to 350.

Step 4. Pour the cherry filling into the crust. Add in the chocolate, pressing a few down into the filling, so that it is not just as a topping on the cherries.

Step 5. Add the crumbly crust.

Step 6. Bake at 350 for about 40-45 minutes, until the top is nicely browned.

Let cool for at least 15 minutes, and enjoy! :)
