For the Cinnamon Swirl:

• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

For the Honey Glaze:

• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Make the Crust:
   • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Finally, stir in the sour cream until smooth.
4. Make the Cinnamon Swirl:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).
5. Layer the Cheesecake:
   • Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over the top.
   • Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon mixture over it. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the mixture together.
6. Bake the Cheesecake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
   • Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for about an hour.
7. Cool and Chill:
   • Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8. Prepare the Honey Glaze:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, honey, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk if needed.
