Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, rolled oats, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until well incorporated and resembles wet sand.
Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the crust mixture into each lined muffin cup and press down firmly. Bake for 5 minutes or until lightly golden.
In a large bowl, beat together creamy ingredients until smooth and there are no lumps.
Pour the cheesecake mixture evenly over each crust, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Add chopped apples evenly on top.
Combine flour, coconut oil, and brown sugar for the topping. Sprinkle it generously over the apples.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until edges look set and centers have a slight jiggle. Let cool for 15 minutes before refrigeration.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
