Skinny-Mini Cherry-Topped Cheesecakes

Ingredients
Prep time: Less than 20 minutes
Butter-flavored cooking spray
10 reduced-fat vanilla wafers
12 ounces fat-free cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons fat-free, artificially sweetened vanilla yogurt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unbleached all-purpose flour
2 large egg whites
10 tablespoons cherry pie filling
Directions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line 10 cups of a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners. Lightly mist them with spray. Place one vanilla wafer, flat side down, in the center of each cup. They will be slightly smaller than the diameter of the cup.
Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese and sugar in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. Add yogurt, vanilla and flour and mix on low until just combined (do not overmix).
Use an electric mixer fitted with a whisk to beat the egg whites in a small mixing bowl on high speed until soft peaks form. Use a spatula to gently fold egg mixture in two additions into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Divide mixture among muffin cups. Bake 18-20 minutes, or until set. They will puff up and the tops will crack, but this is OK.
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and cool to room temperature, and then refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Top each cake with 1 tablespoon cherry pie filling. Serve immediately, or refrigerate. Makes 10 cheesecakes.
