Cinnamon Streusel Buns Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• To make the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar, then add melted butter, mixing with a fork.
• Press into bottom and slightly up sides of a 9 inch spring-form pan and bake in the oven for about 8 minutes to set it.
• Next start to make the streusel. In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then add your melted butter and stir thoroughly.
• In a medium sized bowl mix together the cream cheese and sugar. Add the vanilla, then add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg. Make sure you scrape the sides of the bowl with a spoon or rubber spatula to fully mix all of the ingredients.
• Pour half of the cheesecake mixture onto the crust, then top with half of the streusel.
• Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top, then add another layer with the remaining streusel.
• Place spring-form pan on baking sheet and place in the middle rack of the oven. Bake about 50-60 minutes.
• Allow to cool fully in fridge before topping.
• For the topping, mix together the melted butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. Add small amounts of milk to thin, if needed. Place topping into a piping bag (or ziploc bag with a small corner cut out.) Drizzle/pipe over cheesecake in a criss-cross pattern before serving.
• Variations:Add a 1/2 cup of chopped/crushed pecans to the streusel mixture for added flavor. Your favorite cream-cheese frosting can be substituted in place of the topping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F For the Streusel Topping, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Cut in cold butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Set aside.
• For the Cake, beat softened butter, granulated sugar and sour cream in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour and baking soda on low speed until well mixed.
• Spoon 1/2 of the Streusel Topping into greased and floured 12-cup Bundt pan. Spoon 1/2 of the batter over top. Repeat layers.
• Bake 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or drizzle with Vanilla Glaze, if desired.
• Vanilla Glaze: Mix 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons water and 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract in medium bowl until smooth. If necessary, stir in 1 to 3 additional teaspoons water until glaze is of desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set.
• Cinnamon Apple Streusel Cake: Prepare cake batter as directed, stirring in 1 cup chopped peeled apple.

Steps:
