Take out the bottom of your springform pan and trace it onto a piece of parchment paper.
Cut out the circle of parchment paper and reassemble your pan, placing the parchment circle on the bottom.
Next, cut 2 large 1 1/2 foot lengths of tinfoil and sandwich them with a piece of paper towel in between.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the springfoam pan to form a tight crust, and then pour the cream cheese mixture overtop
Fill your IP with water until the 2″ mark. (If you still have your trivet, use it to elevate your cheesecake but I made it without and my cheesecake still turned out great.)
Place the wrapped cheesecake in the IP and secure the lid.
Select “manual” and decrease the time to 35 minutes. Natural release for 10-12 minutes.
Cover and chill the cheesecake for 2 hours or overnight.
Remove and flip
When ready to serve, warm up 1 cup of the cherry pie filling and place on top of the cheesecake.
