Cheesecake
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, add the room-temperature cream cheese and mix until smooth.
Mix in the sour cream and then the egg.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Divide the cheesecake mixture and top the graham cracker crust in each cupcake liner.
Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Let the mini cheesecakes sit at room temperature for 1 hour before placing them in the fridge for 3 hours to set up.
Apple Topping
In a medium-sized stockpot, combine peeled and diced apples, water, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Cook over medium/low heat for 20-30 minutes until the apples are fork tender.
