Mini Cheesecake Instructions 

  1. Place paper cupcake liners into muffin cups. In a small bowl, stir together crust ingredients. Evenly divide mixture among the 12 muffin cups, about 1 tablespoon in each. Using the bottom of a spice jar, press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over crusts.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 17 minutes or until just set in the middles, do not over bake. Allow cheesecakes to cool. Serve topped with cherry pie filling.
