Cheesecake is my absolute favorite dessert and it has been since I was a teenager. In my younger days, I would bake a cheesecake every weekend. One of my favorites was a caramel apple cheesecake.

Everyone in our family is an excellent cook. So when we cook for the holidays, we end up with enough food to feed a small country. Mini desserts are a great idea for these huge family dinners!

I like to try all of the desserts, don’t you? With mini cheesecakes, I can have a bite or two of more than one dessert. Plus they are so dang cute!

Mini Cheesecakes in Mini Cheesecake Pan

I love my mini cheesecake pan! I have a kitchen full of crazy gadgets that I forget to use, but I actually use this cheesecake pan often. Plus, it’s actually quite affordable from Amazon.

You are also sure to love my Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes, Mini Chocolate Chip Cheesecakes, Mini Mudslide Cheesecakes and Mini Turtle Cheesecakes! The possibilities are endless!

Mini cheesecakes are the best dessert for birthday parties, celebrations, Thanksgiving, Christmas and any other gathering. They are honestly easy enough for dessert any night of the week.

Platter of Caramel Apple Mini Cheesecakes topped with Pecans

Nothing says fall like caramel apples but really I love this flavor combination any time of the year. I made my caramel topping with dulce de leche and whipping cream but you can easily use your favorite caramel sauce or make homemade!

Dulce de leche is usually found on the baking isle or near the Mexican sweetened condensed milk. I have also found it at Amazon.

You could also whip these Caramel Apple Mini Cheesecakes up for tailgating or game day parties. However, you don’t really need an excuse, just someone to share with because they are so irresistible!

I guess I love every kind of cheesecake and I’ve had my eye on this incredible Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake!
