Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Cupcake liners
  • ¼ cup measuring cup
  • Stand mixer
  • Large ice cream scoop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs about 8 full sheets
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Granny Smith apple peeled, cored, and finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cloves
  • ¼ cup caramel ice cream topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  • Top each cheesecake with a spoonful of caramel apple topping before serving.

Notes

  • You can use any variety of apple for the topping, but Granny Smith apples provide the best balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the graham crackers with gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
