Ingredients
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cinnamon Filling:
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Make the Cinnamon Filling:
Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and melted butter until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in sour cream and vanilla until fully combined.
Assemble:
Pour ⅓ of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drizzle ⅓ of the cinnamon filling over the batter. Swirl with a knife. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a swirl.
Bake:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Place the springform pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the outer dish with hot water (water bath) halfway up the springform pan. Bake for 55-65 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Make the Glaze:
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over chilled cheesecake before serving.
Notes
- For a more intense cinnamon flavor, increase cinnamon in the filling.
- The water bath prevents cracks and ensures a creamy texture.
- Serve with whipped cream or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
