Creamy Baked Cheesecake

Very tasty dessert option. Carries well to a social gathering.

Prepare the following ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup melted margarine
  • 1 cup finely crushed graham cracker crumbs.
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 2 (8 oz) packages softened cream cheese
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 can cherry or blueberry pie filling
  • fresh fruit (optional)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Combine graham crumbs, margarine, sugar and cinnamon. Pat into 9" spring form baking pan (or use 2 9" pie pans). In a large bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Beat in sweetened condensed milk, eggs and salt until smooth. (you can also use a blender to mix this batter) Add lemon juice and mix. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 50-55 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Cool to room temperature. Chill. Before serving, spread sour cream on cake and top with blueberry or cherry pie filling...or fresh fruit.

Delicious!
