Instructions

Reduce apple cider by boiling with mulling spices until thickened (about 1 hour). Let cool.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine crushed cookies, melted butter, salt, and powdered sugar. Press into an 8-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Lower oven temperature to 325°F. Beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth, then mix in reduced cider, sour cream, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon.
Add eggs one at a time and flour; mix gently to avoid overbeating.
Pour filling into crust and bake in a water bath for about 90 minutes until edges are set but center is still slightly wobbly.
Cool gradually in the oven with the door ajar for about 30 minutes before chilling overnight.
