Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Sprinkle brown sugar across the bottom of the pan. Arrange pineapple rings and add cherries in the center.
  3. Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter, press into the pan over the pineapple layer, and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then blend in sour cream and vanilla.
  5. Pour cheesecake batter over the crust, ensuring it covers the pineapple and cherries.
  6. Prepare a water bath and bake for 60-70 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and cool cheesecake inside for about 1 hour.
  8. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Run a knife around the edge, release the springform side, and flip the cheesecake onto a serving plate.
