Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • ½ cup chopped pistachios

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in the sour cream, lemon juice, and lime juice until fully incorporated.
  7. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  9. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  11. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  12. Before serving, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
