Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in the melted butter until it looks like wet sand. Press this mixture into serving dishes or mini mason jars. Place them in the refrigerator to set.
- For the cheesecake filling, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add in the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until it’s well combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold this into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon this filling over your set crusts and return to the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the diced apples, along with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender, which takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Let this mixture cool.
- Once your cheesecake filling has set, top each cheesecake with the apple topping. Serve them immediately or keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.
