How to Make Apple Pie Mini Cheesecake Bites

Prepare the crust – Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar, then press into lined muffin tins. Bake for a few minutes to set.

Make the filling – Beat cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon onto the crust.

Bake the cheesecakes – Bake until just set, then let them cool completely before chilling in the fridge.

Cook the apple topping – Sauté diced apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Thicken with cornstarch until syrupy.

Assemble and serve – Top each mini cheesecake with the warm apple mixture. Add caramel drizzle or whipped cream if desired.

Tips for Success

Use room temperature ingredients for a silky-smooth cheesecake filling.

Don’t overbake – The centers should still have a slight jiggle; they’ll firm up as they cool.

Chill before topping – Let the cheesecakes chill for at least 2 hours before adding the apple topping.

Customize the crust – Try gingersnap cookies instead of graham crackers for extra fall spice.

Storing and Freezing

• In the fridge – Store covered for up to 4 days.

• In the freezer – Freeze without the apple topping for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and add topping before serving.
