Irresistible Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bites Recipe made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 can apple pie filling 20-21 ounces
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners or grease with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined.
  • Press about one tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner, creating a compact layer. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C). Chop the apple pie filling into smaller pieces and mix in the cinnamon and caramel sauce. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the vanilla and sugar to the cream cheese. Beat until combined, then add eggs, one at a time, mixing until just blended.
  • Spoon a layer of the apple filling mixture over the pre-baked crusts in each muffin liner.
  • Fill each muffin liner about 3/4 full with the cream cheese mixture, covering the apple layer.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 3 hours before serving.
