Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300ðF (150ðC).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted margarine or butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  4. In a large mixer bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in the lemon juice.
  7. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  9. Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the baked cheesecake.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  11. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  12. Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  14. Top with cold cherry pie filling just before serving.
  15. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
