Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and table salt. Mix until combined.
Add the eggs and mix just until incorporated.
In another bowl, mix light brown sugar, flour, and ground cinnamon. Pour this mixture into the cheesecake batter and fold to combine.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top.
Mix melted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk in a separate bowl for the cinnamon swirl. Drizzle it over the cheesecake and use a knife to swirl it into the filling.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
If desired, add a whipped cream topping for an extra indulgent treat.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
