I'm a pie baker and this is one my family frequently requests. With the brandy infused cherries and chocolate chips, it's an awesome twist on a pecan pie.—Sonya Labbe, Santa Monica, California

Editor's Note:For chocolate whipped cream, beat 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup and beat until stiff peaks form.

  • 3/4 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries

    • 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 tablespoon sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
