Bake about 40 minutes or until filling is set.
Place pan on a wire cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes.
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate at least 3 hours but no longer than 48 hours. While the cheesecake is chilling, make Cherry-Berry Topping (below).
Serve the cheesecake with the topping. Store covered in refrigerator.
Mix the cracker crumbs, sugar and margarine. Press firmly and evenly against bottom and side of the ungreased pie pan. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm.
Rinse the strawberries with cool water, and pat dry with paper towels.
Cut out the hull, or "cap," with the point of a paring knife.
Cut the strawberries lengthwise into slices.
Mix the strawberries, pie filling and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate topping until you are ready to serve the cheesecake.
