Cherry-Cheese Pie

When I was about 10 years old my family went to Summerton Methodist Church. Every time we had a covered dish meal, I would look for this dessert! Some people call this cherry yum yum... but my Mama called it cherry cheese pie.

½ cup Sugar
8 oz Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
1/3 cup Nuts
1 t Vanilla
2 cans Cherry Pie Filling
Pie Crust

Bake pie crust. Blend cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Add nuts and vanilla. Pour in crust. Return to oven 10 minutes at 350. Spread pie filling over cheese layer. Chill. Decorate top with drops of Cool Whip.
