Mini-Cheesecakes

Here’s my nod to my grandmother’s recipe:

Mae's Mini-Cheesecakes

Preheat the oven to 350-degrees fahrenheit

With an electric mixer, cream together 2 8-ounce packages of cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 2 eggs 

In a prepared pan, place one vanilla wafer in a cupcake tin (graham crackers would also be great!)

Fill the cupcake tin halfway with the cheese mixture

Bake for 18 minutes (until the top is slightly golden and beginning to crack) 

Let the mini-cheesecakes cool on a cooling rack

Top the mini-cheesecakes with pie filling

(I like cherry, but you can pick whatever flavor you like.)

  

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes and serve!
