Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons brown sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Maraschino cherries for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.

      Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.

        In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

          Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

            Stir in the sour cream and crushed pineapple until evenly incorporated.

              Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crusts in the muffin tin, filling each cup to the brim.

                Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

                  Allow the cheesecakes to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

                    Before serving, top each cheesecake with a maraschino cherry and a spoonful of additional crushed pineapple if desired.
