one of the eggs. Gently blend in the flour and graham cracker crumbs.

bowl then add the egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth. Spoon into the
prepared pan and spread evenly over the crust.
5. Bake the cake on the center rack of the oven until the cheese filling
begins to turn golden along the edges, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool
completely then top with the cherry pie filling.
6. Chill again then cut into small squares or bars.
