Rose Mary's Notes:

This is the Cheesecake that I made for my husband's birthday, he told me he wanted a Cheesecake instead of a regular cake, and this is the one I came up with. He was very impressed with the smooth & Creamy texture. Even remarked that it tasted a lot like the Cheesecake Factory, so I knew that was his way of saying that he really liked it. So it has been a family favorite for quite a few years now.

Directions

FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Toast pecans in preheated oven for 5 -7 minutes. Cool. Mix cooled nuts with remaining ingredients and press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch spring form pan. FREEZE AT LEAST 15 MINUTES BEFORE FILLING.

TO MAKE THE FILLING: Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour vanilla, and lemon zest on medium speed until well mixed.

Add sour cream and mix again. Add eggs one at a time and mix on low speed, after each addition, just until blended.

Pour into prepared crust. Bake one hour and ten minutes to one hour 15 minutes or until golden brown around edges and center is a little jiggly.

Remove from oven and run knife around sides of pan, BUT DO NOT REMOVE SIDES OF PAN. Cool on wire rack about 1 1/2 hours. REMOVE sides of pan. Refrigerate 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. Top with chilled pie filling just before serving.

Note: This was the first time I made what I considered a perfect cheesecake, and it has been my favorite recipe ever since. The neighbors was glad I shared it with them.

Thank you Cindy, yes he did feel special, and he really loved the cheesecake. Just realized I misspelled York, I better correct that. Thanks for the compliments. I am working on trying up a watergate cake recipe, but I am also doing dinner, and I need to run to the store, so I will get it up before the night ends.

Sofia thanks for your comments, but I am sorry to say it is not the diet version. I do have a Splenda version that I will have to post which has less sugar and you can also use the low fat or fat free cream cheese to make it even less calories.

I will post it for you Sofia, hope you like it. The recipe is in my cookbook "SHARING OUR FAVORITE RECIPES". I don't have a picture just yet, but should I get a chance to make it today, I will take a picture.
