Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Press into the springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then cool.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, and eggs. Mix until just combined.
  4. Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl to create the cinnamon swirl mixture.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the cinnamon swirl mixture and gently swirl with a knife.
  6. Bake in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Then cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  9. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cheesecake when ready to serve. Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
