In all fairness to Michigan I can't help but mention Traverse City, Michigan is the cherry growing hub in Michigan. I have never been to the annual cherry festival they have in July of each year but it seems like fun. Have any of ya'll ever been? Anyway, here is my cherry cheese pie recipe. I don't know why but we have always referred to it as cherry cheesecake. Maybe because it is so similar to cheesecake.
1-9 inch graham cracker crust
1- 8 oz pkg of cream cheese
1-14oz can of sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)
1/3 Cup of lemon juice
1 tsp of vanilla
1 can of cherry pie filling
Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk; blend thoroughly. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill 3 hours or until set. Top with desired amount of pie filling. Refrigerate leftovers (if there are any). : )
