Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and flour until fully incorporated.
3️⃣ Add the Cinnamon Swirl
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
- Drizzle half of the cinnamon mixture over the batter and swirl gently with a toothpick or knife.
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, then drizzle the rest of the cinnamon swirl. Swirl again.
4️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake
- Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in foil and place it in a water bath (a larger pan filled with hot water).
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly but set.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) for best results.
5️⃣ Make the Honeybun Glaze
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
