Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan and chill while preparing the filling.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then mix in granulated sugar, followed by the eggs one at a time, and finally the vanilla extract.
- Whisk together brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl, then set aside.
- Layer half of the cream cheese filling over the crust, sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top, then add the remaining filling and top with the remaining cinnamon mixture, swirling gently.
- Bake the cheesecake for 50-55 minutes until it jiggles slightly in the center. Let cool at room temperature for 1 hour before refrigerating.
- Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze, adding more milk as needed for pourable consistency.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight). Remove from the pan, drizzle glaze on top, and serve.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Let the cheesecake chill overnight for best flavor. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
