Ingredients
Vanilla Wafers (*cheap brands of vanilla wafer are sometime smaller and good for making the really small cheesecakes)
¾ c. sugar
3-8 oz. softened cream cheese
3 eggs
¾ t. vanilla
1 T. lemon juice
Preparation
Cream all ingredients except eggs together on medium. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Pour into cups filling almost full. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Cool completely while still in pans. Chill, then top with pie filling. I used a cherry pie filling.
*To make vanilla wafers fit into the mini muffin tins, I sprinkled them with water and microwave about 9 at a time for 20 seconds. Then I trimmed them with the center of a doughnut cutter and put them in the paper liners. This is a little messy!
