Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started with the crust! First, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Next, press this mixture into the bottom of your springform pan, making sure it’s evenly distributed. Bake this for about 10 minutes and remove it to let it cool. While it cools, we can work on the cheesecake filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
