Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes until lightly golden. Take it out and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake batter.
