Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

For the apple cinnamon topping:

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional: additional whipped cream for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles wet sand. Evenly distribute the crust mixture into the bottom of serving cups or glasses, pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon. Set aside.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.

      Assemble the cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust in each cup, filling them about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula for an even surface.

        Prepare the apple cinnamon topping: In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the diced apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples soften slightly and become fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool briefly.

          Top the cheesecake cups: Once the apple mixture has cooled, carefully spoon it on top of the cheesecake filling in each cup.

            Chill: Place the assembled cheesecake cups in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and to firm up slightly.

              Serve: After chilling, if desired, add an additional dollop of whipped cream on top before serving. Enjoy your delicious No-Bake Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake Cups!
