In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared crust.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with cherry pie filling.

Slice and serve chilled.
