Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes
  1. Prepare the crust by combining crushed graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until resembling wet sand. Press into muffin tin liners and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  2. Make cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Gradually add vanilla, flour, and the egg, mixing just until combined.
  3. Prepare apple mixture by peeling and dicing apples, then tossing with lemon juice, cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  4. Assemble by spooning filling into crusts, layering prepared apple mixture on top.
  5. Make streusel topping by mixing oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until coarse crumbs form.
  6. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 28-30 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
