Description
Call this an upside-down cake because the graham cracker bottom is on top of the cheesecake in the cooker. Once done, flip it so the crust is the bottom.

Directions
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoons orange juice, flour and vanilla together until combined. Beat in eggs with mixer on low speed just until combined. Stir in 1 tablespoon orange zest and ginger. Pour filling into prepared soufflé dish. Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Pour water into 3-1/2- to 5-quart slow-cooker. Place soufflé dish in cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, combine graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon and butter in a small bowl. After 1 hour, carefully remove aluminum foil and sprinkle crumb mixture on top, gently pressing down with hands. Cover again with foil and cook, covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Carefully remove dish from cooker with hot pads and let cool completely. Place covered in refrigerator and chill 4 to 24 hours before serving.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup orange juice and cook over medium heat. Stir in cranberries and cook until the cranberries start to pop, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place sauce in a bowl. Cranberry sauce will thicken as it cools.
Serve cheesecake with cranberry sauce and garnish with orange zest and powdered sugar, if desired.
