In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened.

Pour the lemon cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 9
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.

Once the cheesecake pie is chilled, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top.
