Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and stir until well combined. Press into the bottom of muffin tin liners, creating an even layer. Chill for about 10 minutes.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add vanilla extract and egg, mixing just until combined. Set aside.
  3. Peel and dice the Golden Delicious apples, drizzle with lemon juice, and toss in cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Set aside.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each lined muffin cup, filling about three-quarters full. Press the spiced apple mixture on top and sprinkle with streusel topping.
  5. Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake for 28-30 minutes until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly. They will firm up as they cool.
  6. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for several hours or overnight.
