Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Make the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  4. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and sour cream. Finally, whisk in the flour until just combined.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crusts, filling each about ¾ full.
  6. Make the apple crisp topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Stir in the diced apples.
  8. Spoon the apple crisp topping evenly over the cheesecake filling in each muffin cup. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cheesecake is set.
  9. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust. You can also add a pinch of salt to the cheesecake filling and topping for balance. These cheesecakes are best served the day they are made, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
