Last-Minute Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes


 
It happens to all of us: we plan a decadent, impressive dessert to serve at a special meal.  And despite our best efforts, something goes awry along the way.  Egg whites won't whip into a meringue.  The cake doesn't rise.  The souffle falls.  Or, in my experience, the pie crust simply won't cooperate.  And yet, you still need to serve some type of dessert.  You need a Plan B.

Cranberry Applesauce



Cranberry Applesauce is a quick no-bake dish that also happens to be easy on the waistline.  Fresh cranberries lend a pleasing tartness and create a lovely light-pink color.
