1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F and prepare the crust by mixing graham crumbs, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Prepare the cinnamon swirl by mixing brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon, then stir in melted butter until thick and paste-like.
Beat cream cheese until smooth, add sugars and sour cream, then mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla and salt.
Pour half the batter over crust, add dollops of swirl, gently marble, then repeat. Bake in a water bath for 60–75 minutes. Cool in oven 1 hour, then chill 6 hours.
Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar, fold in whipped cream, frost the chilled cheesecake, and dust with cinnamon.
