Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 cups diced tart apples (Granny Smith recommended)
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
Bake the crusts for about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let them cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, beating until fully incorporated and creamy.
Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cooled crusts.
In another bowl, mix diced apples with caramel sauce until well coated. Spoon the apples evenly over the cheesecake layer in each cup.
For the crumble, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crumble is golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
