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

In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 3 tbsp sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. 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 lightly golden at the edges. Set aside to cool while you prepare the filling.
