Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar. Add melted butter and combine well, pressing into the bottom of a springform pan.
  2. In a saucepan, reduce apple cider over medium heat until it reaches 1/2 cup.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in reduced apple cider.
  4. For the cinnamon filling, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in another bowl; combine with melted butter and apple cider until thick.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the crust, dollop cinnamon filling on top, then add remaining cheesecake batter. Swirl gently with a knife.
  6. Bake for about 80 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center. Turn off oven and let cool inside for an hour before chilling in the refrigerator.
