We made my mom this cheesecake for her birthday. It turned out really well. The cheesecake itself isn't extremely sweet so it is great with the cherry pie filling on top. Really, you could put whatever you wanted on the top (caramel suace, another type of fruit, chocolate, etc.). This recipe is from the Favorites cookbook.Crust:
6 tablespoons butter, melted
26 graham crackers, crushed (1 graham cracker = half a sheet)
6 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix together and press into 9" springform pan. Bake at 350 for 5 minutes. Let cool.
Center layer:
4 eggs, well beaten
1 cup sugar
3 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat until smooth and pour over crust. Bake 30-40 minutes at 350, then let cool for 30 minutes.
Top layer:
3 cups sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
Blend together and pour over cooled cake. Bake at 475 for 5 minutes. Cool for 1/2 hour then place in fridge until ready to serve. Best if made the day before serving. Top with fresh fruit or pie fillings.
