Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a standard muffin pan with paper liners.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until it resembles wet sand. Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture into the prepared muffin tins and firmly press down. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
- Using the same bowl, combine the crumb topping ingredients and cut the cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Keep chilled until ready to use.
- Stir together diced apples, sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla until evenly coated.
- Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on high for 2 minutes until smooth. Mix in sour cream, cornstarch, vanilla, and salt until creamy. Add eggs one at a time on low speed until just combined.
- Divide cheesecake filling among liners, filling ¾ full. Divide apple filling evenly on top, then sprinkle with the crumble. Gently press it down.
- Place a roasting pan or casserole dish with hot water on the lower oven rack. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Cool on the counter for 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 2 hours to fully set before removing liners. Top and serve chilled.
