Crust

Heavily grease a cupcake tin

Add the butter, 1 tbsp white sugar and 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Process on high until all the butter is combined

Add 2 tbsp of the graham cracker mixture to each cupcake slot

With clean hands, press the mixture with your fingers so it covers the entire bottom and up the sides of each to serve as the crust

Put the tin in the over and bake for 10 minutes

Cheesecake

In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with blade attachment, beat cream cheese and sugar on high until smooth

When crust has cooled, spoon about 1/4 cup pumpkin pie mixture into each crust

Return pan to the over and bake for 25-30 minutes until cheesecake is set

Cool the cheesecakes to room temperature, very carefully remove the cheesecakes from the tin (use a dull knife or fork to help you lift them out of the tin)
