Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine flour, pecans, butter, and brown sugar in a bowl until mixture has a sandy texture. Drop a heaping tablespoon of pecan mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup; press to create flat and even crusts.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until crusts are dry, about 12 minutes; set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 4
Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low speed until very creamy. Add white sugar and salt; beat well. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until smooth. Beat in vanilla extract and lemon extract.
Step 5
Divide cream cheese mixture among cups on top crusts.
Step 6
Bake cheesecakes in the preheated oven until set, about 20 minutes. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
