1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup caramel sauce

Preparation Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Divide the mixture evenly among serving cups and gently press it into the bottom.
2. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until light and evenly combined.
4. Divide the cheesecake filling among the prepared cups and smooth the tops. Refrigerate while preparing the apples.
5. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
6. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and coated in a thick, lightly caramelized sauce. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
7. Spoon the cooled cinnamon apples over the cheesecake filling and drizzle with caramel sauce.
8. Refrigerate the cheesecake cups for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.
9. Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, additional caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs.
