Ingredients
  • 1 can blueberry pie filling
  • 4 packages (8 ounce) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 1/2 cups sifted flour
  • 5 3/4 ounces finely ground graham cracker crumbs (about 10 cracker rectangles)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons Vanilla extract
Instructions

Bake until the crust is fragrant and warm to the touch, 5 to 7 minutes; it's fine if the crust start to look golden, but it shouldn't brown too much.

Let the pan cool on a rack while you prepare the cheesecake batter.With a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese with the sugar at medium-low speed until the mixture is smooth and somewhat fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape the bowl. On low speed, beat in the flour. One at a time, beat in the eggs on low speed, mixing the batter for only 15 to 20 seconds after each egg is added, just until it's incorporated, and scraping the bowl each time. Don't over beat.

Add the sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla. Beat at low speed until well combined, about 30 seconds. The batter should be smooth and have the consistency of a thick-milkshake.To bake the cake in a water bath, wrap the outside of the pan tightly with two sheets of extra-wide heavy duty aluminum foil to make the pan waterproof.

Brush the inside rim of the pan with a light coating of melted butter, taking care not to disturb the crust.

Pour the batter into the prepared crust; it should cover the crust completely and come to within about 1/2 inch of the pan's rim.

Put the springform pan in a roasting pan and carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan.

Bake at 350 degrees without opening the oven door for the first hour, until the top of the cake is golden brown and doesn't wobble in the middle when the pan is nudged (a little jiggle is fine), about 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes. (The cheesecake will be gooey in the middle; don't worry, it will set as it cools.)

Let the cake cool.

Remove the cheesecake pan from the water bath, remove the foil wrapping (you may need an extra set of hands for this), and set the pan on a wire rack. Run a thin-bladed knife around the inside rim of the pan to free the cheesecake from the side of the pan.

Let the cake cool on the rack until barely warm.Refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours or overnight. The cheesecake will firm up during chilling.Run a thin-bladed knife around the inside rim of the pan again, taking care not to disturb the crust. Unclasp and remove the side of the springform pan, and then use a wide spatula to transfer the cake to a serving plate.I covered mine with blueberry pie filling, added whipped cream, and piped white chocolate curlicues.
