Instructions
Preparation
Start by lining a standard cupcake pan with paper liners. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined.
Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each cupcake liner. After pressing, place the pan in the refrigerator to set.
For the streusel topping, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until coarse crumbs form. Refrigerate this mixture as well.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 6 tablespoons of sugar, vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of flour until smooth. Add the egg and mix just until combined.
Spoon the cheesecake filling over each crust in the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
In a separate bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the apples are well coated.
Spoon the apple mixture over the cheesecake filling in each mini cheesecake. Gently press down with your palm to ensure everything stays in place.
Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each cheesecake.
Baking
Bake the mini cheesecakes for about 28 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Once baked, cool the cheesecakes in the pan for about 30 minutes. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to chill.
Serving
Serve your Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes drizzled with caramel sauce for an extra sweet touch!
Notes
To store leftover mini cheesecakes, place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or freeze them tightly wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
