Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

For the pumpkin swirl:

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup brown sugar

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 large egg

For garnish (optional):

Whipped cream

Cinnamon sticks

Chopped pecans

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the filling.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Add in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Finally, fold in the sour cream until smooth and creamy.

      Prepare the pumpkin swirl: In another mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and egg. Mix until smooth and well blended.

        Layer the cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the pumpkin mixture over the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the pumpkin mixture into the cheesecake for a marbled effect. Repeat this process with the remaining cheesecake filling and pumpkin mixture.

          Bake the cheesecake: Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles, and then bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar.

            Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight to set properly.

              Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, pecans, or any other preferred garnishes.
