Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool.

Cool and Serve
Once baked, let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Remove from the springform pan and slice to serve.
