Instructions
Making Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes involves a few straightforward steps. Here’s a concise guide to help you through the process:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until well mixed.
3. Press Crust: Evenly distribute the crust mixture into the lined muffin cups and press down firmly to form a base.
4. Prepare Apple Filling: In another bowl, combine chopped apples, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until well coated.
5. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
6. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crusts, filling each cup about halfway. Top with the spiced apple mixture.
8. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, and flour until combined. Sprinkle this mixture over the apple layer.
9. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the centers are set and slightly golden.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the mini cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Chill: For the best texture, cover and refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 2 hours before serving.
