Direction:
Step 1: Heat oven to 350°. Set a 10-inch springform pan on a large sheet of heavy duty foil and wrap the outside of the pan up to the rim.
Process the graham crackers in a food processor until crumbs are fine. Or, put the crackers in a large food storage bag and roll with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Put cracker crumbs in a bowl and work in melted butter with a fork until well blended. Pat crust mixture into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Step 2: While crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in the sugar, then add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in flour, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and salt just until blended.
Step 3: Remove about 1 cup of the mixture to a small bowl. To the mixture in the large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin and spices; beat just to blend. To the mixture in the small bowl, stir in the maple flavoring or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Step 4: Pour pumpkin mixture into the baked crust. Spoon dollops of the maple mixture onto the pumpkin mixture and swirl in with a small spatula or butter knife. Repeat spooning the dollops and swirling until all of the maple (of vanilla) mixture is used.
Step 5: Set the cheesecake in a large roasting pan; place in the oven. Carefully ladle boiling water into the large roasting pan until the water is about 2 inches deep, or about halfway up the side of the foil wrapping the cheesecake.
Step 6: Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cheesecake appears set but is still a little jiggly in the center.
Top with spiced whipped cream or drizzle with a dessert sauce.
