Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Base

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Apple Layer

  • 1 cup apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted (remaining)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) to prepare for baking the mini cheesecakes evenly.
  2. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Then incorporate the sour cream and mix just until combined to maintain a light texture.
  3. Mix Apples with Cinnamon: In a separate bowl, toss the peeled and diced apples with cinnamon thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-coated, enhancing the spiced apple flavor.
  4. Make the Crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in another bowl. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottoms of your mini cheesecake pans to form a sturdy base.
  5. Assemble Cheesecakes: Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust layer in the pans, smoothing the tops gently.
  6. Add Apple Layer: Distribute the cinnamon-coated diced apples evenly on top of the cream cheese layer, ensuring each mini cheesecake has an equal amount.
  7. Prepare and Add Crumble Topping: Mix oats, brown sugar, and the remaining melted butter in a bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle this crumble evenly over the apple layer to create the crisp topping.
  8. Bake: Place the mini cheesecake pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the cheesecake mixtures are set and the crumble topping is golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the mini cheesecakes to cool completely to room temperature before serving, ensuring the flavors meld beautifully and the texture firms up.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smoother mixing.
  • Use apples that hold texture when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
  • Mini cheesecake pans or muffin tins work best for portion sizing.
  • The crumble topping can be refrigerated before baking for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
