Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until it resembles damp sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 7 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (163°C). In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing until creamy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, pure pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add gradually to the mixture, mixing on low speed until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently tap the bowl against the countertop for 30-45 seconds to release air bubbles. Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust and smooth the top.
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 40 minutes. Lower the temperature to 250°F (121°C) and bake for another 45 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes.
- Allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature for about 3-4 hours, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight.
