- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Lightly grease 8 cups of two 6-cup Texas muffin pans. Line each cup with 2 thin strips of parchment paper, crossing at the bottom.
- Using a 2 1/3-inch cutter, cut out 12 rounds from the pastry. Prick in several places with a fork. Place each round in a prepared muffin cup. Bake for 5-10 mins, until golden. Cool.
- Beat the cream cheese, sugar and spices in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the cream until combined.
- In a small, clean bowl, beat the egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cheesecake mixture.
- Top each pastry round with 1 tbsp of filling. Cover with half of the apple slices.
- Pour the remaining filling evenly over the apples. Top with the remaining apple slices.
- Bake for 20-25 mins, until just firm. Cool in the oven with the door ajar.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
