Ingredients
– 1 ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
– ½ cup unsalted butter melted
– 2 8 oz packages cream cheese softened
– 1 cup white sugar
– 2 large eggs
– ⅓ 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 sides of bowl often.
– Beat in eggs until well mixed. Again, scraping down sides of bowl often.
– Beat in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until well mixed.
– Scoop cheesecake mixinto each cupcake wrapper. Fill until each is filled to about a ½ of an inch from the top. They will rise a bit while baking so don’t overfill.
– Baking 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 fridge to cool completely. These will need to cool in fridge for at least two hours before serving.
– Top each with a scoop of cherry pie filling before serving.
