Prepare 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 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

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

Combine and bake
Pour the cheesecake filling into 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 1 hour to cool gradually.

Chill and serve
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
