Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Crumb Topping:

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup quick-cooking oats

  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Apple Filling:

  • 2 medium-small apples, peeled and chopped finely

  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 10 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 6 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg

  • Caramel sauce, for serving


Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a standard cupcake pan with paper liners (this recipe makes 9 cupcakes).

  • Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until well combined. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each paper liner. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set.

  • Prepare the crumb topping: In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until ready to use.

  • Prepare the apple filling: In a bowl, toss chopped apples with lemon juice. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

  • Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth. Add the egg and mix just to combine.

  • Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crusts, filling each about two-thirds full. Top with the apple mixture, pressing the apples gently into the filling. Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over each.

  • Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 28–30 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and the crumb topping is golden brown.

 

  • Cool and serve: Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Then, remove them from the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. Drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving.

Notes

  • For a sweeter touch, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

 

  • Ensure the cheesecakes are fully chilled before serving for the best texture.
