Cheese Pie

(Sorry about the color, my daughter wanted me to make it purple)

Crust
10 Graham Crackers
1/4 Cube (2 Tbsp) Butter- melted
~2 Tbsp Sugar
~1 tsp Cinnamon

Crush crackers in large ziploc bag. Add butter, sugar and cinnamon and shake. Spread in pie pan and bake for 5 minutes @ 375 degrees. Do not overbake because it will bake two more times.

Middle
9 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
1/4 C. Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla

Soften cream cheese then blend all ingredients together. Pour into baked crust and bake for 8 minutes @ 375. Allow this layer to cool (at least until you can touch the pan without hot pads) before adding top layer.

Top
1/2 pint Sour Cream
1/4 C. Sugar
1 tsp. Vanilla

Blend all ingredients and carefully spread over middle layer. Bake for 5 minutes (at 375). Allow to cool, then put in refrigerator until fully set (overnight is best).
