A soft, creamy layer tops the bright filling of our cherry cream cheese pie. It is a sweet-tart flavor extravaganza!

Ingredients

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Add butter; stir until combined. Press onto the bottom and up the side of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Pour pie filling into crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. Carefully spread around outside edges of pie, leaving a 3-in. circle of cherries exposed in the center.
Bake until edge begins to brown, 30-35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate pie for several hours before serving.

My mom is known for her scrumptious desserts. This cherry cream cheese pie is one she's served often. It's one of my favorite desserts anytime of year. I love the combination of cream cheese and cherry pie filling. —Cindy Kufeldt, Orlando, Florida
