Ingredients

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup finely chopped apples (about 1 medium apple)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 cup whipped cream, for topping

How to Make Apple Crumble Cheesecake Cupcake

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  3. Press about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust. Set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the chopped apples and ground cinnamon.
  6. Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined.
  7. Pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the crusts in the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. To make the crumble topping, in a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, and cubed cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture generously over each cupcake.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  10. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Once cooled, top each cupcake with a generous dollop of whipped cream before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth batter.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; fold in the flour gently to avoid a dense texture.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before adding whipped cream to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

  • For a caramel twist, drizzle some caramel sauce over the whipped cream topping.
  • Add nuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
  • Swap the apples for pears or berries for a different fruity flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream adds a delightful creaminess.
  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or chai tea for a cozy dessert experience.
  • Serve alongside a fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but can be served cold or at room temperature. Reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds if desired.
