Cherry Pistachio Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the sour cream until fully combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust and spread it evenly.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden around the edges.
Allow to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into bars.

Dollop the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer and swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top.
