4 servings

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 4 slices canned pineapple (one 8-oz. can)

  • 4 maraschino cherries

  • FILLING:

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg, room temperature, lightly beaten

  • 1/4 cup crushed pineapple, well drained

  • CRUST:

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 300°. Sprinkle brown sugar into a greased 8-in. cake pan that fits into air fryer. Arrange pineapple in a single layer over brown sugar; place a cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.

  2. For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in flour and vanilla. Add egg; beat on low speed just until blended. Fold in crushed pineapple. Spoon over fruit.

  3. Cook until center is almost set, 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen sides from pan with a knife. Cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.

  4. For crust, in a small skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add cracker crumbs and cinnamon; cook and stir until toasted, 4-6 minutes. Cool. Just before serving, top cheesecake with toasted crumbs, pressing to adhere. Invert cheesecake onto a serving plate.
