Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 medium apples, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup brown sugar (for apple filling)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar (for crumble)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Whipped cream, for topping
Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Spray lightly with non-stick spray.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tbsp sugar. Spoon into liners and press down firmly. Bake crusts for 5 minutes and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
5. Divide cheesecake batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling about 3/4 full.
6. In a bowl, mix diced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
7. In another bowl, combine flour, oats, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and softened butter to form crumble.
8. Mix crumble with spiced apples. Spoon mixture on top of cheesecake batter in each liner.
9. Bake for 18–22 minutes until centers are just set.
10. Cool for 30 minutes at room temp, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
11. Before serving, top with whipped cream and caramel drizzle.
Notes
Let cream cheese come to room temperature for a smoother filling.
Press crust evenly using a small flat-bottomed glass or spoon.
Add toppings (whipped cream & caramel) right before serving to avoid sogginess.
