Easy Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes

Recipe Description

My Easy Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes are a great way to use up apples when you have a large harvest at the end of the summer! I find I am always looking for apple recipes at this time of year and this is one of the best ones. These mini cheesecakes are simple to make using a muffin tray.

I start by making the cheesecake base from graham cracker crumbs, sugar cinnamon and melted butter. Then I beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and eggs to make the cheesecake mix which I then bake. I finish these little treats off with apples cooked with butter, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and caramel.

To make Easy Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes, you will need the following ingredients:
