Instructions
- 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F (165°C). Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan tightly with two layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil, covering the bottom and coming up the sides — this prevents water from seeping in during the water bath.

In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, using the flat bottom of a measuring cup to compact it. Bake for 10 minutes, until the crust is set and just beginning to smell toasty. Remove and let cool while you make the filling.
