Prepare the crust:
In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter along with the 5 tablespoons of chocolate pieces over medium heat. Once fully melted, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 3/4 cup of oats, 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Stir until everything is combined into a thick dough-like mixture.

Form the crust:
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 10-inch pie plate. This will form the base of the pie. Place the pie crust in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. -
Make the cherry filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine the light cherry pie filling with 1 teaspoon of almond extract. Stir gently to combine and set aside. -
Prepare the topping:
In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of oats. Cut in the 3 tablespoons of butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in the 1/4 cup of chocolate chips for an added touch of sweetness and richness. -
Assemble the pie:
Pour the prepared cherry filling into the baked crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the oat and chocolate crumb topping over the top of the cherries, ensuring it covers the filling in an even layer. -
Bake the pie:
Place the pie back into the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. -
Cool and serve:
Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help the filling set and make it easier to cut. Serve at room temperature or chilled, depending on your preference.
Serving Suggestions:
This Double Cherry Pie is perfect on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. You can also serve it with a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an added layer of flavor.
Tips:
- For an even richer crust, you can substitute the butter with unsalted butter or add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors.
- If you prefer a more tart cherry filling, consider using a mix of fresh cherries and pie filling, or add a few tablespoons of lemon juice to balance the sweetness.
- To make this pie ahead of time, you can prepare the crust and filling separately and assemble them just before baking.
Enjoy your homemade Double Cherry Pie, a sweet, delightful treat that will surely become a staple in your dessert repertoire. Perfect for all occasions and loved by all ages, this pie is sure to become a family favorite!
