Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a pan filled halfway with water on bottom rack of oven.

Combine all the crust ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan or into mini springform pans to create a flat crust.

Combine cream cheese, sugar and flour, mixing well until blended (you can use an immersion blender, standard blender or electric mixer). Add eggs one at a time, until just combined. Blend in sour cream and liqueur. Pour over crust.

Bake in oven at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for one hour if using a large pan; 40 minutes for small mini cakes. When cakes are done, shut off the oven and leave to cool for approximately an hour before opening the door.

Combine the jam or preserves  for glaze in a saucepan with the amaretto liqueur. Stir until completely mixed. Strain, mix and pour over the cooled cheesecake before releasing the sides of the springform pan.
