Equipment

  • Cupcake or Muffin Pan

Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup salted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar measure packed

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Apples

  • 2 Granny Smith Apples
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Topping

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter softened
  • Optional Garnish: ice cream, whipped cream, additional caramel sauce

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line 12 muffin cups with liners. Spray the liners with non-stick spray.
  • Combine the graham crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar in a medium sized bowl. Spoon a little of this mixture into each of the muffin cup liners. Press it evenly into the bottom of the cups.
  • Use a stand mixer (or hand mixer) to cream the cream cheese. Then add the greek yogurt, egg, caramel sauce, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix this until smooth.
  • Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crusts in each of the muffin cups.
  • Peel, core, and dice the apples. Measure the brown sugar and cinnamon into a medium size bowl and combine them well. Then add the diced apples and stir to coat them well. Set this aside.
  • In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon. Then use a pastry cutter to cut in the softened butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Spoon a little of the apple mixture into each muffin cup. Then spoon on a little of the topping.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool, then chill for at least 2 hours.  Garnish with whipped cream if desired.
