Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden, and then set aside to cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined. Pour it over the cooled crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Pipe a spiral pattern over the cheesecake filling and then swirl through it to create a marbled effect.
  4. Bake the cheesecake for 55–65 minutes until slightly jiggly yet set. Turn off the oven and let it cool with the door slightly ajar for an hour.
  5. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract for glaze. Drizzle over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
