How to Make Cherry Cheesecake Bars in a Crock Pot

1. Mix together your crushed graham crackers, melted butter and brown sugar until they are well combined
2. Lightly spray your 6 quart crock pot (I used Cera, my6 Quart Crock Pot with Ceramic Coated Pot)
3. Mix together your cream cheese and sugar in a large mixing bowl (I used my Kitchen-Aidmixer)

4. Then add your ricotta, sour cream or Greek yogurt and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Scraping sides as needed

5. Add one egg at a time, blending it completely before adding the next

6. Then beat in your flour and cornstarch

7. Pour your batter over your graham cracker crust

8. Put a couple of paper towels under the lid and cover

9. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the center is almost set. Carefully rotate your crock as needed throughout cooking to reduce uneven cooking

10. Once cooking is done, carefully remove lid (do not let lid liquid drip into cheesecake) and place a clean cooking towel over the top of the crock (Be careful not to let the towel touch the top of the cake and cool for one hour)

11. Remove crock from unit and let it cool completely before placing in the fridge to chill for a few hours or overnight

12. Once your cheesecake bars are chilled, top with cherry pie filling and slice into bars
