Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
  3. Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Once set, spread cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake.
  5. Slice and serve chilled.
