Apple Cheesecake Duffin

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 360°F .​ Remove pastry from the freezer and place the frozen pastry onto a parchment paper lined baking tray. Allow to thaw for 10-15 minutes.
2. ​​Once the pastry is pliable, place the pasty over the muffin cup and push center inward to the bottom of the cup.
3. Return the cup or muffin tin to a parchment lined baking tray and bake for 20-22 minutes, after allowing to fully cool before proceeding.
4. A cavity will form within the center of the muffin. Fill the inside with apple compote and whipped cream cheese. Top with icing and granola.

Whipped Cream Cheese

1. Gather the bowl of your stand mixer and add heavy cream. Beat until stiff peaks form. If using a stand mixer, transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and set aside.
2. In a second large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine softened cream cheese, sifted powdered sugar, corn starch (if using), vanilla extract. Beat until well-mixed and smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl with a silicone spatula as needed.
3. Use a spatula to fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.​
