- combine melted butter, 1/4 c sugar and graham cracker crumbs, then evenly divide into a paper lined cupcake baking pan. (or make the mini version like my Cousin Linda). Press firmly into bottom to create crust. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, remaining sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Then with a tablespoon add the mixture to the top of each graham crust. Tap pan on counter to set.
- Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the middle sets. Allow the cheesecakes to cool then add your favorite fresh fruit toppings (if using pie filling, add filling prior to baking). Use the mini version like Cousin Linda... and create the American Flag onto your tray for serving! Enjoy!
