1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press a tablespoon of this mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner to form the crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Beat in the egg until just incorporated. Stir in the melted chocolate until the mixture is creamy and uniform.
5. Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the crusts, filling each liner about three-quarters full.
6. In another bowl, mix diced apple with cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Top each cheesecake with a small spoonful of the apple mixture.
7. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and slightly puffed. Allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Once cooled, drizzle caramel sauce over each bite. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle with chopped nuts.

These bites are best made with your favorite playlist in the background and the comforting chaos of family life swirling around you.
