In a small bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, and ½ butter, melted. Stir until combined and evenly distribute mixture between 12 lined . Press down with hands until each is firmly packed down.
In another large bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Once combined, fold in ¼ cup Caramel topping.
Spoon or pipe mixture into each muffin tin. Each muffin tin should be ½ to ¾ full.
Bake at 375℉ for 13-15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow them to cool before topping with caramel. I prefer to refrigerate cheesecake before serving, so you can wait to top with caramel until after refrigeration.
