Notes

Use up to 3/4 c. of melted butter in the crust, if desired. And you can substitute chocolate grahams or vanilla wafers for the honey grahams.
If you like a thicker cheesecake filling, use 2 pkg. of cream cheese.
And you can top this dessert with any pie filling that you like. Substitute the cherry pie filling for blueberry, raspberry, blackberry, or even chocolate, etc.
