Servings 18 mini cheesecakes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 8 oz 2 packages cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Fill 18 muffin tins with foil-lined wrappers. The wrappers with the inside foil lining peel better from this dessert.
  • In a medium bowl stir together melted butter and graham cracker crumbs until mixed.
  • Press about 1 tablespoon of graham cracker crumb and butter mixture in the bottom of each cupcake wrapper.
  • In a large bowl beat cream cheese with white sugar until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often.
  • Beat in eggs until well mixed. Again, scraping down the sides of the bowl often.
  • Beat in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until well mixed.
  • Scoop cheesecake mix into each cupcake wrapper. Fill until each is filled to about a 1/2 of an inch from the top. They will rise a bit while baking so don’t overfill.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. They’re done when still just slightly jiggly in the middle.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes before placing in the fridge to cool completely. These will need to cool in the fridge for at least two hours before serving.
  • Top each with a scoop of cherry pie filling before serving.
