Pineapple Cheesecake

Delicious, with a couple of alterations.

1. 3 tbsp melted butter for 2 c of graham crumbs, is nowhere near enough butter. Next time I'll use what other recipes call for - 1/4 c melted butter.

2. I'd double the topping next time. It absolutely "made" the cheesecake.

Fantastically tasty.
