Make the Pineapple Topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together until bubbly and combined.
Add Pineapples: Stir in the drained pineapple slices until they’re well-coated. Allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to caramelize.
Prepare the Pan: Grab a 9-inch round springform pan. Pour the delicious pineapple mixture into the bottom of the pan.
Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly on top of the pineapple layer in the pan.
Whip Up the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in vanilla extract, sour cream, eggs, and flour. Mix until fully smooth.
Add the Pineapple: Gently fold in the crushed pineapple.
Pour and Bake: Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and pineapple layer. Bake for about 50-60 minutes.
Cool Down: Once baked, turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour.
Chill: After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve: Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan and release the sides of the springform. Flip it over to reveal the pineapple goodness.
