Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for added stability)

For the Topping:

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
    (Optional: use homemade cherry compote for a fresher flavor)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream and flour (if using) until just combined — don’t overmix.
