Black Forest Cheesecake Brownies

1 can (1 lb 5 oz) cherry pie filling
1 box (1 lb 5 oz) chewy fudge brownie mix, such as Duncan Hines
5 eggs, divided
1/2 cup + 6 Tbs butter or margerine, at room temperature, divided
3 pkg (4 oz each) cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbs all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract

Preheat oven to 300deg F. Strain cherries, placing sauce in small plastic food storage bag; reserve. Line 13”X9” baking pan with foil; coat with cooking spray.

In medium bowl with spoon stir brownie mix with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup butter and 1/4 cup water until just combined; spread in pan.

With mixer at medium speed beat cream cheese and remaining butter until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in sugar and flour until combined. Add extracts and remaining eggs; beat until smooth. Pour mixture over brownie batter in pan. Drop cherries over cheese mixture. Bake 1 hour and 20-25 minutes or until cheesecake is set and brownies are baked.

When cool, transfer brownies to flat surface. Drizzle cherry sauce over brownies.
