Equipment

mini cupcake wrappers
mini muffin tin

Materials

11 oz. vanilla wafer cookies such as Nabisco Nilla Wafers
16 oz. cream cheese softened
1 tsp. vanilla extract
½ cup sugar
2 large eggs
21 oz. Pie filling use any kind you like. I used cherry and peach

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F
Line mini muffin tins with cupcake wrappers
Place a vanilla wafer in each wrapper - If you are struggling to get the cookie to fit then you can turn the cookie around so the rounded side is facing down.
Mix cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar
Add eggs and mix well
Spoon the mixture over vanilla wafers - filling cupcake wrappers all of the way
Bake for 25 minutes
Let the mini cheesecakes cool down
Remove the mini cheesecake bites from the muffin tin
Top with pie topping and serve!

Notes

Vanilla wafer fit: Regular-sized wafers may sit at a slight angle in a mini muffin pan, leaving a small air pocket underneath. Try turning the wafer rounded-side down for a better fit. Mini cupcake liners make removal easier and help hold everything together.

Allow additional time for the cheesecakes to cool before topping.
