- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined.
- Add sour cream and flour to the cream cheese mixture, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before serving.
- You can also add a layer of caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
