  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the dough and spread evenly with a spatula.
  5. Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tbsp ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  6. Brush the top of the cheesecake layer with melted butter and sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly across the surface.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are mahogany-colored and the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool and slice.
