Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
2
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is lightly browned. Let it cool completely before filling.
3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it's smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat until combined. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract.
4
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
5
Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours. Once chilled, top with cherry preserves and serve.
