Prepare the Crust

1. Crush the Graham Crackers: Start by crushing the graham crackers into fine crumbs. You can do this by pulsing them in a food processor or placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin to crush them.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Stir until everything is well coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
3. Spoon into Jars: Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly among your jars (about 2 tablespoons per jar). Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press the crust down firmly.
4. Chill the Crust: Place the jars in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer or whisk.
2. Add the Remaining Ingredients: Gradually add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue mixing until the cheesecake filling is smooth, thick, and fluffy.
3. Spoon the Filling: Carefully spoon the cheesecake filling into each jar, layering it over the chilled graham cracker crust. Fill each jar until it’s about 3/4 full, leaving some space at the top for the fig topping.
4. Smooth the Top: Use a small spatula or spoon to smooth the top of the cheesecake filling, making it even and beautiful.
5. Chill Again: Return the jars to the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the fig topping.

Prepare the Fig Topping

1. Cook the Figs: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped figs, sugar, honey, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the figs are softened and the syrup has thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Add Cinnamon (Optional): For extra warmth, stir in a pinch of cinnamon. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the figs.
3. Cool the Topping: Let the fig topping cool to room temperature before adding it to the cheesecake jars.

Assemble the Cheesecake Jars

1. Top with Figs: Once the cheesecake filling has chilled and set, spoon the fig topping evenly over each jar of cheesecake. The figs should sit on top of the creamy filling, allowing their juices to soak into the cheesecake slightly.
2. Chill: Place the jars back in the fridge for at least 10 more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
