cherry pie

Ingredients:

1 box brownie mix (18.3 ounces), plus ingredients called for on the box
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the package, then spread the batter evenly in the greased dish. In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour this cream cheese mixture over the brownie batter, spreading it out evenly. Spoon dollops of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, then use a knife to gently swirl it into the cream cheese to create a marbled effect. Bake according to the brownie mix instructions or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
