3 Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove cups from pan. Garnish each mini cheesecake with 1/2 teaspoon cranberry sauce and 1 walnut piece.

Forgot the egg and they still turned out great! Easy and pretty quick. I used a shot glass to cut the dough

These appetizers are delicious and they are relatively easy to make. I made them for a Christmas party and they were a big hit.

These were delish and even for my picky fiance! Instead of pie dough i used puff pastry sheets and rolled them to be a little thinner so i could get two muffin pans worth of the shells.
