Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Spoon the cheesecake filling into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  5. Top each cheesecake filling with pineapple chunks, gently pressing them into the mixture.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are set and centers jiggle slightly.
  7. Cool the cheesecakes completely in the tin on a wire rack.
  8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Drizzle caramel sauce over each cheesecake before serving.
