This pie is delicious and pretty to serve, our favorite!

1/2 cup sugar
8 oz. container of cool whip
8 oz. Philly cream cheese
1 can pie filling cherry flavor (I use Food Lion brand cherry pie filling because the more expensive brand is too sweet. The tartness of the cherries in the Food Lion brand is perfect with the cream cheese.) You could substitute the cherry for strawberry pie filling, but I love the cherry.
1 graham cracker crust

Mix sugar, cream cheese and cool whip together and beat until very blended. I usually beat it for several minutes, do not rush. Pour into pie filling and then add your favorite pie filling on top. Put lid of pie crust over it and chill. Best served after several hours of being in fridge or next day.
