- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Substitution Ideas:
- Swap regular cream cheese for a lower-fat version (though this will yield a slightly less creamy texture)
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for added protein
- Try coconut sugar in place of brown sugar for a more complex flavor
- For a gluten-sensitivity option, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust
