Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, finely crushed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325ºF and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
