Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue beating until well-combined and smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Be careful not to overbeat to avoid air bubbles in the filling.
Pour the cheesecake filling into the pre-baked crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake the cheesecake pie in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
Once chilled, spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake layer.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
