2 T. sugar
1 stick butter, melted
Combine crumbs, butter, and sugar. Press into bottom and up sides of 9" springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
3, 8 oz. pkgs. cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 eggs
16 oz. pie filling, any flavor
Combine 1st 3 ingredients on medium speed of mixer until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour in pan. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 250 degrees and bake 30-40 minutes more, until golden brown. Loosen cake from rim of pan with a table knife. Chill at least 3 hours before serving.

*placing a pan of water in oven during baking may prevent it from cracking but covering it with pie filling will keep anyone from seeing them anyway : )
Enjoy!
