Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13" pan with foil, spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla extract and eggs, mixing until well combined.
Gradually stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until incorporated; the batter will be thick. Spread half of this mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
In another bowl, beat together cream cheese, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth. Pour this cheesecake mixture over the brownie base.
Drop spoonfuls of cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer without spreading it out completely.
Spoon dollops of the remaining brownie batter over the cherries and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool before cutting into squares.
