Instructions

Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into lined muffin cups to form the crusts and chill for 15 minutes.
Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until light and fluffy.
Spoon the cheesecake filling over each chilled crust and smooth the tops.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Meanwhile, cook the diced apples with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a skillet for 6 to 8 minutes until tender.
Allow the apple topping to cool completely, then spoon it over the chilled cheesecakes just before serving.

Notes

Substitute crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits for the graham cracker crust if desired.

Top with toasted pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.

Drizzle with caramel sauce for added flavor.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or apple pie spice to the apple topping for extra warmth.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Freeze the cheesecakes without the apple topping for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before serving.

For best texture, add the apple topping just before serving.
