Crust Preparation

Prepare the crust
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Form the crust
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it down tightly. Pre-bake the crust in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
