Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor grind the graham crackers, brown sugar and cinnamon and pulse until it turns to fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and continue to pulse until the butter is mixed in and starting to form clumps.
Pour into the bottom of a 9” springform pan and firmly to create and even layer to form the crust. Place in the oven and bake for 7 minutes. Remove and let cool while making the filling.Reduce the oven temperature to 320 degrees.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth. Add in the sugar and beat for an additional minute. Add in the vanilla and continue to beat. Add in the eggs, one at a time until they are mixed in. Add the sour cream and mix. Add the flour and mix. Set aside for a minute.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour and melted butter.
Pour about 1⁄2 of the cream cheese mixture over the bottom of the crust. Take the cinnamon/sugar mixture and using your hands, crumble it around the entire cheesecake. Add the remaining batter and repeat with the cinnamon crumble.
Cover the bottom of the pan with a layer (or two) of foil to prevent water getting into the cheesecake. Place the cheesecake in a larger pan with sides and add water to create a water bath for the cheesecake.
Place in the oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, until the center is firm.
Remove and let cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to chill completely.
To make the frosting, cream 1⁄4 c butter and cream cheese together. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla mix until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix the very soft butter, cinnamon and brown sugar together.
In a piping bag, coat the edges of the bag with the cinnamon/sugar mix and fill the center part of the bag with the rest of the frosting.
Press down and create small swirls over the entire cheesecake. Frosting tip shown is 1M.
