Ingredients

• 2 cups (crumbled) Graham crackers
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 24 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
• 1 cup Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press it firmly. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 6

Fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake filling mixture over the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.

Step 9

Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour. This step helps prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 10

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool fully on a wire rack before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 11

Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, top it with the cherry pie filling, spreading evenly. Scatter the fresh cherry halves on top of the pie filling for an extra burst of cherry flavor.

Step 12

Slice and serve the cheesecake, and enjoy the delightful blend of creamy filling, crunchy crust, and double cherry topping!
