Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Then add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Finally, add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition.

Bake the cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about 1 hour.
