-1/2 cup of sour cream

(For Cinnamon Swirl):

-1 cup brown sugar

-1/4 cup of all purpose flour

-2 tbsp ground cinnamon

-1 stick of butter

Directions:

•Preheat over to 325 (if you live in a higher altitude, like me, I did mine at 300)

•Take 1 1/2 packs of cinnamon graham crackers and smash them until finely crushed (I used a gallon sandwich bag and a wooden handle)

•Melt stick of butter in microwave (I used 30sec or less intervals)

•Mix crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon in a bowl adding in the melted butter slowly.(I recommend hand mixing this, and I added the about a 1/3 of the butter in at a time)

•Line baking pan (8x11in) with foil.

•Dump crust into pan and press it out until it completely covers the bottom, place in over to bake for 10-12min (I live in higher altitude so I baked mine for 9min)

•Take soften cream cheese (I just microwaved mine for 30sec, kinda chopped it up and then again for another 30sec) mix in the 2/3 cup of sugar once mixed add the eggs, once mixed add the vanilla, once mixed add the sour cream.

Set aside.(I used a mixer for this bit)

•Place a small pan on stove at medium heat, put in flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and chopped up stick of butter. Stir until sugar and butter have melted and your left with a cinnamon swirl sauce.

•Pour cheesecake mix into half baked crust.

•Pour cinnamon swirl sauce in/on cheesecake mix, take a spoon and stir, mixing the sauce and cheesecake.

•Place in oven and bake for 35-40min (I did mine for 30min)
