Cheesecake Directions
- 1
Prepare the crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust.

Make the cheesecake filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue to beat until combined. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice; mix well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
