Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
- ½ cup Apple Cider
- ⅓ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- ½ cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
- ¼ cup Butter, melted

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Drop a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each glass or ramekin and press down firmly. Set aside.

- Assemble the Cups: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each cup, filling them almost to the top. Optionally, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few apple slices on top for decoration.
- Chill and Set: Place the filled cups in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove from fridge, let sit for about 10 minutes, and enjoy as is or topped with whipped cream or caramel sauce.
