Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

    Caramelize the pineapple: In the same springform pan, arrange the drained pineapple slices in a single layer on top of the cooled crust. Place maraschino cherries in the center of each pineapple slice for a pop of color.

      Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to mix until well combined.

        Incorporate eggs: Add the vanilla extract and beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add sour cream and juice: Stir in sour cream and fresh pineapple juice until the mixture is smooth. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and salt, then add it to the cheesecake mix and stir until just combined.

            Pour over the pineapple: Carefully pour the cream cheese filling over the arranged pineapple and cherries, spreading it evenly.

              Bake: Place the springform pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly—it will firm up as it cools.

                Cool down: Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Then, remove it from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

                  Serve: When ready to serve, run a butter knife around the edges of the cheesecake and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Invert the cheesecake onto a serving platter, allowing the pineapple topping to be visible.

                    - Presentation Tips: Garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional pineapple slices if desired. Cut into triangular slices for a beautiful presentation.
