Very Best Cheese Pie

Ingredients:

Crust:
18 Graham Crackers, rolled to crumbs (there should be 1½ cups)
¼ cup sugar
5 tablespoons melted butter

Filling:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened to room temperature
2 eggs
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Topping:
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375° F. Mix crust ingredients and pat firmly into the bottom and 1/3 way of the way up the sides of a 9” spring form pan. Beat filling ingredients until satiny and pour into crust. Bake 20 minutes, remove from oven, and cool 15 minutes. While it’s cooling, raise oven temperature to 475° F. Blend topping ingredients and spread gently over cheese filling. Return pie to oven and bake 10 minutes longer. Cool in pan to room temperature, then cover with foil and chill 10-12 hours before serving. Top with your favorite fresh fruit or fruit pie filling.
