Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan, wrapping the outside with aluminum foil.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until resembling wet sand, then press into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.
  3. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, mixing until combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time.
