Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until evenly coated. Firmly press into the bottom of muffin liners and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add vanilla extract, flour, and egg, mixing gently just until combined.
  3. Dice the Golden Delicious apples into ¼-inch pieces and toss with lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Distribute the cheesecake filling over each chilled crust, smooth the tops, and gently press the apple mixture on top.
  5. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter to create the streusel topping and sprinkle over the apple layer.
  6. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 28-30 minutes until edges are set.
  7. Let the mini cheesecakes cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
