Creating your Simple Churro Cheesecake for Parties involves a few straightforward steps. Follow these detailed instructions for a delicious outcome:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. Prepare the Crust:
– In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
– Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.

3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
– Gradually add sugar and mix until combined.
– Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
– Stir in vanilla extract, salt, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.

4. Layer the Cheesecake Mixture:
– Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
– Sprinkle one-third of the cinnamon-sugar topping on top.
– Add the remaining cream cheese mixture, then sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar topping over it.

5. Bake the Cheesecake:
– Carefully place the springform pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
– Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

6. Cool the Cheesecake:
– Turn off the oven and crack the oven door slightly. Leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
– Remove it from the oven and cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
– Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

7. Remove from Pan:
– Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake before releasing the springform.

8. Serve: Dust with additional cinnamon-sugar mix if desired before serving.
