Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer.

Bake the cheesecake

Prepare the topping
In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh blueberries, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
