Heat oven to 350° and grease a 9 X 13 pan.
Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, soda, and orange zest in a small bowl.
Cream together the butter and sugars in a large bowl until they're light and fluffy; blend in the eggs and the vanilla and almond extracts.
Add in the flour mixture and beat until combined.
Gently fold in the pie filling and the dried berries until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips.
