CinnApple CheeseCupCakes

I've been wanting to make these for a few days and finally got around to it.....and boy am I glad!! I'm sure they're really delicious when chilled, but I just couldn't wait to try one!! These are really easy to make and not alot of ingredients. 

CinnApple CheeseCupCakes

Makes 12 CupCakes

1 CupCake = 4 PointsPlus™

CRUST:

1 cup crushed low fat graham crackers (8 sheets)
1/4 cup light butter, melted
pinch of salt & cinnamon

FILLING:

2 (8 oz. each) packages Neufchatel cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Splenda granulated
1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp vanilla
1 TBSP cinnamon

 

Preheat oven to 325º. Line muffin pan with papers.

For the Crust:

Mix together all crust ingredients until moistened. Put 1 TBSP of mixture into each paper in muffin pan. Press down with a spoon or measuring cup. Bake for @9 minutes. Cool in pan on rack.

 

 

 

 

For the Filling:

Mix together the cream cheese and Splenda granulated. Add in egg substitute, applesauce, vanilla & cinnamon. Spoon into muffin papers, almost to the top.

 

Bring 4 cups of water to boil. Pour into a large baking dish and place on the bottom shelf of the oven to create steam in the oven. Place muffin pan ona shelf above that.

Bake @25 minutes or until set.

MY SPIN: The next time I make these I think I will dice/mince some fresh apple and add that to the filling. Or perhaps make some homemade applesauce and top the cuppies with that.
