Directions

1 Heat oven to 350ºF. Place miniature paper baking cup in each of 36 to 48 miniature muffin cups. Divide Ready-Mixed Crust (dry) evenly among muffin cups (1 to 2 teaspoons each); press in bottoms of cups, using back of measuring spoon. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until very light brown.
2 For smoothest filling, beat cream cheese and 2 eggs thoroughly in medium bowl, using wire whisk; stir in Filling Mix, water and remaining egg until smooth (a few tiny lumps may remain). Fill muffin cups about 3/4 full (about 1 tablespoon each) with cream cheese mixture.
3 Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until firm. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. For best flavor, refrigerate 2 hours before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Top each with 1/2 teaspoon pie filling. Store tightly covered in refrigerator up to 48 hours. Or freeze tarts tightly wrapped in airtight container up to 4 months.

I made these for a bake sale at church, and everyone loved them. People are still asking for the recipe, so I'm going to print it off. (I had used the back of the lemon bar box myself.) The only thing I noticed is that is says 3 oz. of cream cheese, but my package was 8 oz. and that's how much I used. Very yummy, perfect for summer.

I think the instructions would be best explained that the "optional" pie filling is for using on top of the tart if desired. I do agree it is poorly written.
