Grocery List
  • 12 cinnamon graham crackers
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • 1 T. cinnamon
  • ½ c. butter
  • 2 - 8 oz. blocks of room temperature cream cheese
  • 1 egg
  • ⅓ c. sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ¼ butter
  • 1-2 T. cinnamon (yes, that's Tablespoons) we really like cinnamon at our house)
  • ½ c. brown sugar
  • 1 T. flour
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
Here's how...
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Either use a food processor and crush 12 cinnamon graham crackers with ¼ c. sugar and 1 T. (Tablespoon) cinnamon and add in ½ c. melted butter. OR, use a rolling pin to smash the crackers to crumbs and then add the sugar, cinnamon, and butter in a bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Press this into a foil-lined and buttered (by this, I mean butter the foil) 8"x11" baking dish and bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes.
  4. Prepare the filling by mixing the cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla well with a mixer. Using the egg and cream cheese at room temperature will help prevent lumps.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt the topping ingredients: brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, butter, and vanilla.
  6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the top of the crust and the filling on top of the cheesecake.
  7. Use a butter knife to swirl the topping into the cheesecakes.
  8. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until the filling is set all the way to the middle.
  9. Let cool completely.
  10. Store in the refrigerator.
