Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 16 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Favorite pie filling or fresh fruit (optional for topping)

Steps to follow:

1. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture onto the bottom of a greased 7-inch springform pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
3. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C). Place the springform pan in the air fryer basket and air fry for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly wobbly.
5. Remove the cheesecake from the air fryer and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
6. Top with your favorite pie filling or fresh fruit before serving, if desired.

Tricks and tips:

• Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to ensure a smooth and creamy cheesecake filling.
• Do not overmix the filling once the eggs have been added to avoid incorporating too much air, which can lead to cracking.
