Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 1/3 cups graham crackers
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
  • 6 Tbsp butter melted

Crumb Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup light-brown sugar + 2 Tbsp
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or vanilla bean paste

Raspberry Filling

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries about 8oz
  • 5 Tablespoons warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice optional but recommended for best flavor
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 16-18 muffin cups with liners. In a mixing bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, melted butter and sugar together.
  • Divide mixture and press inside the bottom of a muffin cups to form little crusts. (about 1 tablespoon) Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven to cool.
  • Meanwhile, combine the raspberries and sugar in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, for about 4 minutes. Mix in the cornstarch/water. Gently simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature before using.
  • In a medium size mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for crumble topping. Cut the butter in with a pastry blender until the mixture is coarse, set aside.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer blend together cream cheese with sugar just until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, then blend in sour cream and vanilla.
  • Once well combined, pour on top of your mini graham cracker crusts, leaving room at the top for fruit and crumb.
  • Carefully place raspberry mixture over the top, evenly covering mini cheesecakes. Finish by sprinkling a heaping tablespoon of the crumb over tops.
  • Bake at 350 F for 25-30 minutes, until the crumble is lightly golden brown in color. Once it's done cooking, cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

NOTE:
It's really important that the cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs are at room temperature, otherwise, you'll end up with a clumpy batter!
