My family has used a very similar recipe for a long time....I wonder who (and why!) first thought to add sour cream.

It's brilliant! It makes for such a yummy topping!
I don't even need fruit on top of it. I eat it plain.
(I will eat fruit on top of it but not pie filling, too syrupy.)

I know! I would never think to put pie filling on top of cheesecake.

A lot of people do it.
I think it ruins the integrity of the cheesecake not to use fresh fruit. Well, frozen fruit is okay. But syrupy fruit?...
