Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Add cupcake liners to a cupcake pan.

  7. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for the cinnamon sugar filling

  8. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 of a tablespoon of filling into each cupcake, then sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over the filling, fully covering the filling. Repeat two more times for a total of three layers of filling and cinnamon sugar. The cupcakes should be mostly full.

  9. Bake the cheesecakes for 15-17 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave the door closed for another 5 minutes.

  10. Take the pan out of the oven and allow cheesecakes to cool for 15-20 minutes, then put in the fridge to finish cooling.

  11. When cheesecakes are cooled, remove them from the pan.

  12. To make the frosting, mix the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and mix and mix until smooth.

  13. Add the frosting to a ziplock bag with the corner cut off and pipe a swirl of frosting onto each cheesecake. Refrigerate cheesecakes until ready to serve.
