HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

Nothing says July 4th in the good ol' USA as good as a cherry pie does.  So I have "one upped" the cherry pie and have created Individual Cherry Cheesecake Cobbler Pies!  Ok...say that three times fast.  These individual desserts are to die for!  The are the perfect combination of cherry pie, cheesecake and cherry cobbler.  Place a nice big scoop of vanilla ice-cream on top and you have got a killer dessert.  I am telling you, even people who don't like dessert loved these when I made them.  To make it super simple for yourself purchase pre-made pie crust instead of making your own....that will really save you a lot of time.  Try this dessert for your 4th of July celebration...they will be the hit of the party!!!
