Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

16 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1/4 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 medium apples, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with liners or lightly grease for easy release.

Make the crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture clumps slightly when pressed. Spoon about 2 tablespoons into each muffin cup and press firmly to form a compact base. Bake 6-8 minutes, then cool while you prepare the filling.

Mix the filling: In a mixer or with a handheld beater, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth and pale. Add eggs one at a time, then beat in sour cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the filling from cracking as it bakes.

Prepare the apples: In a skillet over medium heat, toss diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour or cornstarch if using. Sauté 4–5 minutes until the apples are slightly tender and fragrant, with a glossy glaze forming in the pan. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Assemble: Spoon a generous tablespoon of filling over each crust, then top with a heaping teaspoon of the apple mixture. If you like a prettier look, swirl a bit of filling over the apples or nestle the apples into the center of each cup.

Bake and chill: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until centers are just set and the tops look firm. Remove from oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate 2–4 hours (or overnight) to ensure clean, sliceable bites. A light dusting of cinnamon right before serving is a pretty touch.

Notes

Two classics in one: silky cheesecake folded with warm-spiced apples and a caramel-crisp topping. Individual mini cheesecakes that are cozy, display-ready, and perfect for fall gatherings.
