Classic Cheesecake

Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Filling:
- 24 oz full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs

Steps:
- Mix the crust ingredients, press into a springform pan, bake at 350 F for 8-10 minutes, and cool. Reduce oven to 325 F.
- Put a roasting pan of water on the bottom rack for a steam bath.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth (2-3 min), add sugar and vanilla, then the eggs one at a time. Pour over the cooled crust.
- Bake 60-70 minutes - the center should still wobble slightly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool inside for 60-90 minutes. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
