Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray an 8 inch pie plate generously with non-stick cooking spray and set aside. 2 In a medium bowl blend together the flours, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda. 3 In a large bowl add the brown sugar, applesauce and egg and blend together using a wire whisk - takes all of 10 seconds. 4 In a small bowl 1 cup of chocolate chips and the melted butter.  Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and stir just until the chips are melted. 5 Stir the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the sugar mixture using the whisk.  Add in the flour mixture stirring just into well blended. 6 Pour into the prepared pie plate and top with the remaining chocolate chips -I used a spatula and gently pressed them into the batter. 7 Bake in preheated oven 40 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.  My pie was done in 35 minutes.
