**Chocolate Covered Cherry Pie**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought
– 1 cup dark chocolate chips
– 1 can cherry pie filling
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg, beaten
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Set aside.
1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate chips until smooth. Be sure to stir constantly to prevent burning. Once melted, pour the chocolate into the bottom of the pie crust, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, granulated sugar, flour, almond extract, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
1. Pour the cherry filling mixture on top of the melted chocolate in the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
1. With the remaining pie crust (or additional pie crust if preferred), cut strips to create a lattice pattern on top of the cherry filling. You can also cover the pie with a full top crust and create slits for ventilation.
1. Brush the crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
1. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
1. Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool before serving. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate on top or add a dollop of whipped cream on each slice.
