Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 Cup Graham Cracker Crumbs, 4 Tablespoons Salted Butter (melted), and 3 Tablespoons Sugar. Mix these ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.
  3. Add about a tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each cupcake liner and press down firmly. Discard any excess crumbs.
  4. Bake the crusts for 5 minutes in the preheated oven until slightly golden.
  5. In a large bowl, beat together 12 Ounces Cream Cheese and ¾ Cup Pumpkin Puree until smooth.
  6. Add 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ½ Cup Granulated Sugar, and 1 Teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice. Mix again until everything is smooth.
  7. Crack in 2 Large Eggs, adding them one at a time. Beat well after each.
  8. Using a large scoop, fill each cupcake liner with the cheesecake mixture until just about full.
  9. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until the cheesecakes are set in the middle but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Once done, cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  11. Top with Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon before serving.
