Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 c. packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 c. sour cream
  • 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 c. heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, blend softened cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, followed by sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Combine crushed graham crackers with melted butter, brown sugar, and salt, then press into the bottom of the prepared pan.
