Muffin Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or line with cupcake liners.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined. Add the flour and mix until crumbs form. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice together. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, pumpkin, oil, milk, and vanilla extract together. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth. Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and sugar until combined.
- Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of pumpkin muffin batter into the muffin cups. Layer with about 1 spoonful of cheesecake filling, then add another heaping tablespoon of muffin batter to fill the cups.
- Sprinkle crumb topping onto each muffin and press it down into the tops.
- Bake for 5 minutes at 425°F (218°C), then reduce heat to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for another 15-17 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan before serving.
- Cover leftover muffins tightly and store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes
To achieve the fluffiest muffins, ensure cream cheese is softened and avoid overmixing the batter.
