Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°
Crust
Crush cookies with a rolling pin. Place the crushed cookies on the bottom of greased (I use Crisco) ramekins. It works out about two cookies a cheesecake.
Crumble
Mix in a medium size bowl, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and flour together.
Melt butter and mix in with the flour mixture. Set aside for later
Cheesecake Filling
Beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
Fill ramekins with cream cheese filling until ⅔ full.
Apple Filling
In a medium size sauce pan, mix diced apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, water and cinnamon. Cook until sauce thickens.
Top the apples with the crumble.
Bake
Bake for about 19 minutes. If you like you can melt extra butter and in the last couple minutes, drizzle it over the crumble and return back to the oven to crisp the topping.
