Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes

Delight in these Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes, combining creamy cheesecake with a warm, cinnamon-spiced apple crisp topping for a perfect bite-sized dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a small bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon sugar until combined. Press about 1 tablespoon into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crusts in the muffin tin.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine chopped apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour.
  6. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut the cold butter into the apple mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the apple crisp topping evenly over each cheesecake.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Allow mini cheesecakes to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
