I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing! Your "Feisty Chef FTW" cracked me up, by the way. Thanks! 🙂
These sound great!! I will use Vanilla wafers instead, thats what I always use for my cheese cakes its soooo much better than graham crackers.
OMG! these sound amazing and easy! Only thing is ….what are graham crumbs? I've not heard of them…but perhaps we don't have them here is Australia..but i love this recipe and love that you ate nearly all the baked ones in one hit!!!
@Brenda – Not sure if Graham Crackers are available in Australia but if not, you can always make your own!! Check out this link: http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/graham-crackers/ 🙂
This recipe sounds wonderful and I can't wait to try it. I am looking for things that I can make ahead and freeze for the holidays. Do you know if this would freeze?
@Debbie – I'm not 100% sure how they would hold up frozen, but personally, I throw everything in my freezer!! For other ideas of things to make ahead that will freeze well for Christmas, check out this post – http://www.kellyneil.com/kellyneilcom/2010/12/26/holiday-baking.html 🙂
made these last night–they were a hit–and as an added bonus I used the leftover egg whites to make meringue and topped the tartlets. The perfect finishing touch.
I am so glad you liked them and I bet they looked really cute topped with meringue. Yum!
If you use a boxed pie filling, could you still bake this?
