1 9-inch prepared graham cracker crust

Top evenly with strawberry pie filling.
Cover and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until set.

For a firmer texture, chill the cheesecake overnight.
Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Try other fruit toppings like cherry, blueberry, or peach for variety.
