Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure to press it firmly and evenly. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add in the vanilla extract and sour cream, and mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake for 45 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Let the cheesecake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and letting it cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the cheesecake is completely chilled, spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake in an even layer. You can also add some extra cherries on top for a more decorative look. Chill for an additional 30 minutes to let the topping set.
