Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cherry pie filling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and flour until fully combined.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan.
5. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, then use a knife to gently swirl it into the mixture to create a marbled effect.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the center is slightly jiggly.
7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for a few hours or overnight before cutting into squares.
