Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.

3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.

4. Add Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon until well blended. Set the mixture aside.

5. Prepare the Apples: In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, ¼ cup brown sugar, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until the apples are coated.

6. Prepare the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until crumbly.

7. Assemble the Mini Cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each lined muffin cup, filling them about ⅔ full. Add a layer of the apple filling on top of the cheesecake, followed by a generous sprinkle of the crisp topping over each mini cheesecake.

8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the tops are golden brown.

9. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Chill: Refrigerate the mini cheesecakes for at least 1 hour before serving to let them firm up and enhance the flavors.
