In medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients; blend well. Spoon scant tablespoon filling into each crust-lined cup. In small bowl, combine all topping ingredients; mix until crumbly. Carefully sprinkle 1 teaspoon topping over each filled cup.
Bake at 350°F. for 18 to 22 minutes or until puffed and tip of knife inserted in center comes out clean. Immediately run knife around edges of cookies. Cool cookies in pans for 5 minutes.
