2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
2/3 c. granulated sugar
3 eggs - beat into cheese mixture
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 c. cherry pie filling (save for topping)
1/2 pint (1 c.) sour cream
3 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix first five ingredients and pour into buttered 9-inch glass pie pan.

Bake 35 minutes at 350°F. Remove and cool 15 minutes. The cake will collapse slightly in the center forming a small "well". Pour the sour cream mixture into the "well" in the cake. Return to oven for 5 minutes to set the sour cream mixture. Cool and add cherry pie filling to top.
