Teeny, Tiny Cheesecakes

"These are so cute and you will get ohhs and ahhs when you serve these with a tad of fruit on top. These are so easy and delicious. You can substitute the apricot preserves for any other that you like or do a combination of several. The fruits that are pretty are tiny pieces of kiwi, a slice of strawberry, or one raspberry, or you can eliminate the preserves and put a dab of fruit pie filling on the top (I love cherry pie filling--and it is pretty)."
