Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons into each muffin liner, creating an even layer. Bake for 5 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until well combined. Gradually add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Spoon the filling over the cooled crusts, filling each liner about 3/4 full.
  4. Toss diced apples in a bowl with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the apple mixture for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened. Let cool before spooning over the cheesecake filling.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apple topping.
  6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and the crumble is golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan before transferring to the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
  7. Once chilled, remove the liners and plate your mini cheesecakes. Top with whipped cream or caramel sauce for extra flair!

Notes

[‘Make sure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.’, ‘Press the crust firmly into each liner for a sturdy base.’, ‘Avoid overbaking to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.’, ‘Cool completely before chilling in the fridge to prevent cracking.’, ‘Use fresh, tart apples for the topping to balance the sweetness.’]
