Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons melted butter
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups diced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for apples)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for streusel)
2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of each liner. Bake for 5 minutes and cool.
3. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla and mix until just combined. Spoon over cooled crusts, filling 3/4 full.
4. In a skillet, cook apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until just softened. Cool and add on top of cheesecake batter.
5. Make streusel by combining oats, flour, brown sugar, and cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
6. Bake cheesecakes for 20–25 minutes or until centers are set. Cool and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
7. Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
Let the cheesecakes cool completely before refrigerating for the best texture.
You can freeze the cheesecakes without the whipped cream topping for up to 2 months.
