Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Form the Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer.
4. Bake the Crust: Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
3. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to avoid lumps.
4. Mix in Cinnamon: Stir in the ground cinnamon until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

3. Assemble and Bake

1. Pour Filling Over Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
2. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
3. Cool Gradually: Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about an hour.

4. Chill the Cheesecake

1. Refrigerate: After cooling, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture
