Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Pineapple Upside-Down Cheesecakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press firmly into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon the cream cheese filling evenly into each muffin cup, filling them about 2/3 full and adding pineapple chunks on top.
