Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Blend the digestive biscuits and cinnamon until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and pulse until combined. Firmly press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix dark brown sugar and cinnamon to create cinnamon sugar and set aside.
- In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour with the remaining dark brown sugar. Pour in melted butter and mix until crumbly. Set aside.
- Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, then gradually add sugar. Blend in sour cream and cornstarch, followed by eggs one at a time until just incorporated.
- Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, add the remaining batter, and top with crumble.
- Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan filled with boiling water. Bake for 1 hour and 15-20 minutes, until set around the edges.
- Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes
For best results, chill overnight. Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture. Monitor the water bath to prevent water from seeping in.
