How to cook deliciously - Cheesecake Crowns

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. Unfold pastry; cut each into 4 squares. Gently press squares into greased jumbo muffin cups, pulling corners up and out of cups; press corners down onto muffin pan.

2. Stage

In a small bowl, combine flour, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon into each muffin cup. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs on low speed just until combined. Stir in vanilla. Spoon into pastry cups.

3. Stage

Bake until filling is almost set and pastry is golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour or until set.

4. Stage

For glaze, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. If desired, toss berries with apricot jam to coat; place on top of pastries. Drizzle with glaze. Refrigerate leftovers.
