Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust.

Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Add vanilla extract, sour cream, and salt, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
