Preheat your oven to 350°F.Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
Place 1 vanilla wafer in the bottom of each liner
In a large mixing bowl, beat together:Cream cheese, Sugar, Eggs, Lemon juice, Vanilla
Mix just until combined. It’s okay if there are a few small lumps.
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the centers are set but still have a slight jiggle.
Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool completely.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
Before serving, spoon about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto each cheesecake
