Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.33 cup apricot preserves
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
Divide the crust mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing it down firmly to create a compact base. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a small glass for this step.
In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and beat just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the cheesecakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves and water over low heat, stirring until the mixture is smooth and slightly thinned.
Spoon or brush a small amount of the apricot glaze over the top of each cooled cheesecake.
Refrigerate the cheesecakes for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled and set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
