### Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Gently fold in the cherry pie filling. Be careful not to overmix, as you want to keep some of the cherry chunks intact.
3. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
4. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans for a bit of crunch and nutty flavor.
5. Serve immediately with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or pita chips. Enjoy!
### Short Tips:
* For an extra touch of decadence, drizzle a little melted white chocolate over the top before serving.
* If you prefer a less sweet dip, reduce the amount of powdered sugar to 1/4 cup.
* This dip can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. Give it a quick stir before serving.
* Get creative with your dippers! Pretzels, apple slices, or even shortbread cookies would be delicious.
