Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups diced apples (peeled)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for apples)
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar (for topping)
3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press a tablespoon into the bottom of each liner. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla. Beat until creamy and fully combined. Spoon over each crust.
4. In a small skillet, sauté diced apples with cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar for 5 minutes until softened. Let cool slightly and spoon over cheesecake layer.
5. In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and cold butter. Use fingers or pastry cutter to form a crumbly texture. Sprinkle over each cheesecake.
6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until centers are just set. Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Use room-temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
Don’t overfill the muffin liners to prevent overflow while baking.
Mini cheesecakes taste even better after chilling overnight.
