Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a standard cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  3. Mix graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, and sugar. Add in the melted butter and mix well.
  4. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each liner and refrigerate.
  5. In a bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add melted butter until you get coarse crumbs. Refrigerate this too.
  6. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla, and flour. Mix in the egg gently.
  7. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crusts, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. Toss the chopped apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  9. Spoon the apple mixture over the cheesecake filling, gently pressing down.
  10. Generously sprinkle the streusel topping over each cheesecake.
Baking
  1. Bake for 28-30 minutes until the edges are set.
  2. Let them cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate.
  3. Serve drizzled with caramel sauce.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps. If you prefer a sweeter version, feel free to add more sugar. Experiment with different types of apples for varied sweetness and tartness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
