Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and wrap the exterior of a 9-inch springform pan with foil.
Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar for the crust. Press into the bottom of the pan firmly. Bake for 10 minutes and cool slightly.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, scraping the bowl to avoid lumps.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed. Blend in sour cream, vanilla, and 1/2 cup butterscotch sauce.
Pour half the filling into the crust, drizzle with butterscotch sauce, and swirl gently. Add remaining filling and repeat swirl.
Place the pan in a larger baking dish and pour hot water halfway up the sides for a water bath.
Bake for 55 to 65 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Remove from oven, refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, top with whipped cream, drizzle with butterscotch sauce, and sprinkle with crushed cookies.

Notes
For best texture and flavor, chill the cheesecake overnight. Use real butter for a better crust.
