Pour the filling into the prepared crust, and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until the center is just firm.Remove cheesecake from the oven, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Spread the sour cream gently and evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Bake an additional 5 minutes, until the sour cream bubbles at the edges. Cool the cheesecake completely on a rack.Run a knife between the cake and the sides of the pan to loosen it. Cover the cake, and refrigerate it until it is well chilled, at least 3 to 4 hours (the cake can be made a day ahead of serving). Make the Caramel Sauce.Caramel Sauce

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 to 3/4 cup milk, warmed

Add the brown sugar and water, and cook over medium heat until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, 234 degrees F to 240 degrees F. Remove the pan from the heat, and let the mixture cool a couple minutes. Stir in the amount of milk necessary to achieve the sauce consistency you prefer. The sauce can be kept warm over a hot water bath or made ahead and re-warmed at serving time.Serve the cheesecake topped with warm Caramel Sauce.
