Our Best Cheesecake (Honey Maid)

For years I have used Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs for my baked goods.  It wasn’t until 2010 that I tried the cheesecake on the back of the box.  It was easy, and tasted GREAT.  Why don’t you try making Our Best Cheesecake Recipe, and you’ll love it.

1 ¾ cups Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/3 cups margarine, melted

1 ¼ cups sugar, Divided

3 pkg. (8 oz. each) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened

2 tsp. vanilla

3 eggs

1 cup Breakstone’s Sour Cream

1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling (optional)

Preheat oven to 350F if using a silver 8 or 9 inch springform pan (or to 325F if using a DARK nonstick 8 or 9 inch springform pan).  Mix graham cracker crumbs, margarine and ¼ cup of sugar.  Press firmly onto bottom and 2 ½ inches up side of pan; set aside.

Beat cream cheese, remaining 1 cup sugar and the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until blended.  Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.  Add sour cream.  Pour into crust.

Bake 1 hour 10 minutes or until center is almost set.  Turn off oven.  Leaving door slightly ajar, leave cheesecake in oven 1 hour.  Remove from oven; cool completely.  Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.  Remove side of pan; top with pie filling.  Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.
