In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.

Form the Crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Bake the Cheesecake

Cool the Cheesecake
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
