Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Filling
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Sugar Layer
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to mix. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract and flour until just combined.
- Layer the Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, blend the cinnamon and brown sugar. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the crust in the pan. Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cinnamon sugar layer. Repeat with the remaining cinnamon sugar and then the rest of the filling, creating a layered effect.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is mostly set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Cool and Chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool slowly and prevent cracking. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother texture, make sure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
- Use a water bath during baking to further prevent cracking if desired.
- Serve with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or icing for extra indulgence.
- Allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
