Step‑By‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the bottom tightly with aluminum foil.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix well. Press into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes until golden.
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and light brown sugar, mixing until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, flour, and melted butterscotch chips.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove air bubbles.
- Bake in a water bath for 60–70 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Cool inside for 1 hour.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Melt sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until amber. Stir in butter, heavy cream, and sea salt. Boil for 1 minute.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for a smooth filling. Use a water bath for baking to prevent cracks. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to enhance flavors.
