Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with the butter.

Prepare the crust

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press it down. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Press the crust

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in the granulated sugar and beat until combined.

Prepare the filling

Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, add the all-purpose flour and mix until smooth.
