Cheesecake

This is my grandmother Cleone's recipe:

Crust:
2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
3 tbsp Sugar
2 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
1 stick of Butter, melted

Filling:
3 (8 oz) Packages Cream Cheese, softened
5 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Topping:
3 cups Sour Cream
5 tbsp Sugar
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 can Cherry Pie Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, Cinnamon, and melted butter. Spread into an 9 by 12 greased glass baking dish. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat until creamy. Fill prepared crust. Bake at 300 degrees for 50 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes to allow cheesecake to settle. In another mixing bowl, combine sour cream, sugar, and vanilla. Beat together and pour over cheesecake. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. Allow to thoroughly cool and refrigerate. Just before serving, add fruit pie filling on top. Makes 12 servings.
