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 cup peeled and chopped apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for apple topping)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons old-fashioned oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for crumble)
2 tablespoons melted butter (for crumble)
whipped cream (for topping)
caramel sauce (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press 1 tablespoon into each liner and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
3. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, egg, and vanilla. Mix until fully combined.
4. Spoon cheesecake filling into crusts, filling each liner about 2/3 full.
5. Bake for 15–17 minutes, until centers are just set. Cool completely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
6. Cook apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a skillet until softened. Set aside to cool.
7. Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter to make a crumble. Toast in a skillet until golden.
8. Once cheesecakes are chilled, top with apple mixture, oat crumble, whipped cream, and caramel drizzle. Serve chilled.
Notes
For the best texture, use full-fat cream cheese and let it come to room temperature before mixing.
Add the oat crumble and toppings just before serving to maintain crunch.
Chill the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, but overnight yields the best flavor.
