INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/8 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place cup cake liners into muffin tins.
  2. To Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar. Stir in eggs, vanilla and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
  3. To Make Crust: Combine crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crust forms small crumbs. Put one spoonful of crust into each cup cake liner and pat it down. Spoon a layer of filling on top of crusts.
