Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. 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.

Make the filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar, mixing until well combined. Then, add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Combine and bake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
