Cherry Cheese cupcakes




From Favorite Recipes from Quilters cookbook

Makes 2 dozen cupcakes (I could only get about 20 cupcakes out of the filling, so if you need more than 20 double the recipe!)





2 8-oz pkg cream cheese, softened (I used low fat)

2 /3 cup powdered sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

2 dozen vanilla wafers (I used low fat)

21-oz can cherry pie filling

1. Cream together cream cheese, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. (I used my kitchen aid mixer)
2. Place 1 vanilla wafter in bottom of each greased muffin tin. Fill 2/3 full with cheese mixture.

3 Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. When cooled, place 1 tsp. pie filling on each cupcake. Refrigerate and serve

Sausage Appetizers


This is from my friend Pam B.


1 small package Jimmy Dean Sausage (I used low fat)

1 8 oz low fat cream cheese
1 1/2 cup low fat ranch dressing
2 cups shredded cheese (I used low fat)
Won Ton wraps - 12 oz package
Mix cooked sausage with all ingredients but wraps. Put wraps in ungreased mini muffin tins, scoop teaspoons of sausage mix into wraps. Bake 375 degrees for 8 - 10 minutes (watch carefully).
This makes a lot of appetizers!
