Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl, then add melted butter and press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon for the swirl.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the rest of the cheesecake filling ingredients until combined.
- Add the eggs to the filling one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition.
- Layer half of the cheesecake batter over the crust, drizzle with half of the cinnamon swirl, then repeat.
- Bake in a water bath for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
- Cool in the oven with the door ajar for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar and vanilla, then fold in whipped cream.
- Frost the cheesecake and dust with cinnamon before serving.

Notes
Always use room temperature ingredients for a smooth filling. Use a water bath to prevent cracks during baking.
