Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Sour cream
• 21 ounces Cherry pie filling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 24-cup mini muffin pan with paper liners or grease and flour each cavity if not using liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Evenly divide the graham cracker mixture among the prepared muffin cups, pressing the mixture firmly into the bottom to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to flatten it.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and beat until well incorporated.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by adding the eggs one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition.

Step 7

Stir in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and creamy. Avoid overmixing.

Step 8

Spoon the cheesecake batter evenly over the prepared crusts, filling each mini muffin cup nearly to the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the centers are set and only slightly jiggly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Once fully cooled, refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.

Step 12

Before serving, top each mini cheesecake with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

Step 13

Serve chilled and enjoy!
