Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.

Combine and bake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
