Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups peeled and diced apples
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners. Mix graham crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter; press mixture into liners and bake for 5 minutes.
2. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth, then add egg and mix. Spoon over crusts.
3. In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Layer apples over cheesecake filling.
4. In another bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and cut in with a fork until crumbly, then stir in oats.
5. Sprinkle over apples. Bake 25–30 minutes.
6. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
Notes
Chill the cheesecakes thoroughly before removing liners for cleaner presentation.
For easier cleanup, use paper cupcake liners.
Apples can be cooked slightly before adding for a softer texture.
Allow cheesecakes to fully set in the fridge for best taste and consistency.
