Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes – Bite Sized & Delicious!

Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is such a great dessert, but sometimes is can be a real pain to make. For one thing, it takes a long time to bake a whole cheesecake. Another issue, for me anyways, is that traditional cheesecakes have a tendency to crack, so they don’t always have the best appearance. These Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes are fairly easy to assemble, they only require 18 minutes of baking time, and they are cool and ready to eat in less time that a whole cheesecake. These little personal sized desserts have a golden Oreo crust, a rich and creamy cheesecake center, an apple and crumb topping and they are finished off with a drizzle of caramel sauce. This is a great dessert for your holiday events!

After we moved out of state though, we started hosting different holidays at our house and I had to learn quickly. I found a recipe similar to this one online somewhere, and it has evolved into this Spiral Ham with a Brown Sugar, Honey & Dijon Glaze.
