To prepare the cherry topping:

Place 2 cups cherries in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth.

Press crumb mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 350° for 10 minutes; cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 300°.

To prepare the filling:
