Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it well.
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Press evenly into the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract; mix well. Beat in eggs one at a time until fully blended.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
Combine sugar and cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is set and edges are golden.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

For added richness, drizzle with caramel after chilling.

Crust variations: try crushed cinnamon cereal or vanilla wafers.

Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for a deeper spiced flavor.

Best served chilled; freezes well for up to 2 months.
