How to Make Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes Recipe
1. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners and preheat the oven to 325 F.
2. Make the cookie crust: in a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Press about 2 tbsp of this mix into the bottom of the cupcake liners. Place in the fridge while you make the filing.
3. Make the topping: combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and pumpkin pie spice. Add the melted butter and stir until coarse crumbs form. Place in the fridge until ready to bake.
4. Make the cheesecake filling: using a hand-held or stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, flour, and egg until just combined.
5. Make the apple filling: in a medium-sized bowl, toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
6. Assemble the cheesecakes: divide the cheesecake filling evenly between the cupcake liners on top of the cookie crust.
7. Spoon the apple mixture over the cheesecake filling.
8. Sprinkle the topping over the apples. Press down with your fingers lightly so everything sticks together and bake for 30 minutes.
9. Let the cheesecakes cool down in the pan for about 30 minutes, remove and store in the refrigerator. Serve cold with a dollop of whipped topping and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Can I Make Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can. You can either bake them a couple of days ahead of time, or prepare all the layers ahead of time, refrigerate them separately, and bake the cheesecakes in the morning of the day you plan to serve them. Remember that these cheesecakes are best when cold, so they do need to be made a bit ahead of time.
