���Abby's Cheesecake

Preparations:� Set out the eggs and cream cheese about 1/2 hour to an hour before you begin so they'll reach room temperature. �Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Crust: �Melt butter; in a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar; add melted butter and stir. �Line the bottom of a spring form pan with the mixture, packing firmly.

Filling: �In a large bowl, stir the cream cheese; add the sugar, vanilla, one egg, and mix well; add the other eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. �Pour the filling into the crumb-lined spring form pan (the crust is as yet unbaked) and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes. �Do not turn off the oven! �

Topping: �In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, sugar and vanilla.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and top it with the sour cream mixture. �Return the cheesecake to the oven for another five minutes. �Remove from oven.��Place on a wire rack to cool. �Once cooled, top with the fruit pie filling, your choice of blueberry, cherry or strawberry. �Chill the cheesecake for several hours before serving, or overnight. �Original recipe from Abigail van Buren
