This is a wonderful easy dessert and if you chill it overnight it's similar to a very creamy cheese cake but much easier and much quicker to make, you can whip this up in about 5 minutes, the ingredients may be easily be doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, see note on bottom - serve this warm or cold, it will ripen in flavor have a cheesecake texture after it is chilled for 24 hours
Ingredients:
1/4-1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or blueberry pie filling)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to lowest bottom position).
2. Grease an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
3. In the baking dish melt the butter inside the oven.
4. Remove from oven; sprinkle the cracker crumbs in the melted butter, stir well; press on the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
5. Bake the graham crust in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes; remove and set aside.
6. In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream and lemon juice.
7. Spread evenly over the crumb/crust.
8. Spoon the pie filling evenly over the cream layer (don't worry if it sinks a bit, it will all bake together).
9. Bake on lowest oven rack for 25-30 minutes, or until set (don't over bake).
10. Serve warm or chill overnight (this will firm up and develop in flavor if left in the refrigerator overnight).
11. ** This dessert is very good so you might want to consider doubling it - this can be easily doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, double the canned pie filling too and bake it for just a couple minutes longer.
