Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of each muffin cup.
  3. Beat cream cheese and granulated sugar on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add eggs, mixing one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over crusts, filling each cup three-quarters full. Press a few pineapple chunks into each.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly. Check on them to ensure they are creamy.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  7. Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
