Cream Cheese Tarts

My best friend made these for our family on Thanksgiving. However, she called them cupcakes, but after looking more into the recipe I believe these are better labeled as tarts. They are so good and addictive. After learning how easy these are to make, I made them for my Mom's  Thanksgiving night. If you love cream cheese then you will LOVE these.

Ingredients
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 eggs
12 vanilla wafers
1 (21 ounce) can of pie filling for topping (Cherry, strawberry,or blueberry)

 Directions:
Prep Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 35 mins

1 Preheat oven to 350°F.

2 Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup (12 total) of muffin pan.

3 Beat cream cheese with electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar and vanilla, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

4 Place a vanilla wafer FLAT side down, in each muffin cup. Spoon cream cheese mixture over wafers filling each to about 1/4 inch from top of paper.

5 Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

6 Allow tarts to cool completely before filling. When you remove the tarts from the oven, they will be puffed up, but as they cool, the center will sink, creating the perfect well to fill with a couple of spoonfuls of your favorite filling.

7 Chill thoroughly before serving.
