Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Make the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Assemble the Dessert
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it out evenly.
Chill and Serve
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set.
Slice and serve chilled.
