Can I make Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes in regular-sized pans?

Absolutely! You can adapt this recipe for a 9-inch springform pan or even a 9x13 dish. For a full-size cheesecake, bake at 325°F for about 45-50 minutes. The individual portions are lovely for entertaining, but a larger version works beautifully for family gatherings.

How far in advance can I make Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes?

These Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes are perfect make-ahead desserts! They can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. They also freeze beautifully for up to 3 weeks – just thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving.

Why did my Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes crack on top?

Cracking usually happens from overmixing the batter (especially after adding the egg) or baking at too high a temperature. Make sure to mix just until combined and stick to 325°F. Don't worry though – any small cracks will be covered by the beautiful apple and streusel topping!

Can I use a different type of apple in my Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes?

While Golden Delicious apples work best, you can substitute with Honeycrisp, Gala, or even Granny Smith. Just adjust the sugar slightly – add more for tarter apples or reduce it for sweeter varieties. Avoid very soft apples like Red Delicious as they may become mushy during baking.

Do Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes need to be refrigerated?

Yes, because of the cream cheese content, these Apple Crisp Mini Cheesecakes should be stored in the refrigerator. They'll keep for up to 5 days covered. Let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
