Preparation

Make the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Remove from oven and let cool.

Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar, and mix until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour.
