Mini Cheesecakes

I have always loved cheesecake (who doesn't?) and I am happy to have this recipe on hand for whenever a craving may strike. I'm sure these could even be frozen so that you can just take out a serving or two at a time. I have to thank my wonderful friend Shaunna for sharing this recipe with me, all the way from North Pole, Alaska. =) I love how simple and versatile it is, not to mention delicious!

Ingredients:

24 vanilla wafer cookies
3 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
3 eggs at room temp
1 tsp vanilla
1 can pie filling

Preheat oven to 325. Line 24 muffin cups with paper or foil liners. Place on cookie in each cup.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Pour mixture evenly into muffin cups to 2/3 full. Bake for 20 min or until set. Cool completely, then top with pie filling.
