- 150 g granulated sugar
- 2 g ground cinnamon
- 10 ml vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium apples, diced
- 10 ml fresh lemon juice
- 3 g ground cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C. Line 16 muffin cups with paper liners and set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse graham crackers to fine crumbs. Combine with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter, mixing until uniform. Portion about 1 tablespoon of crust mixture into each muffin cup and press firmly to form the base.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat cream cheese for 4-5 minutes until completely smooth. Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the bowl, then blend again for 1 minute. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of cheesecake batter into each muffin cup over the prepared crust.
- In a medium bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice. Add ground cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and cornstarch; stir until apples are evenly coated.
- Add 1–2 tablespoons of apple mixture on top of each cheesecake batter portion.
- Whisk together flour, quick oats, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix with a fork until a crumbly texture forms.
- Sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over the apple topping on each cheesecake.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until centers are slightly set with a gentle jiggle.
- Remove cheesecakes from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
