Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (20 oz) can pineapple slices, drained
Maraschino cherries, for topping
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a muffin tin.
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter. Divide this mixture evenly among the muffin cups, then place a pineapple slice in each cup and top with a maraschino cherry.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the pineapple slices in the muffin cups.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set. Allow the cheesecakes to cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
To serve, carefully remove the cheesecakes from the muffin tin and invert onto a serving plate.
Enjoy these delightful Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cheesecakes!
