- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

To enhance flavor, use homemade caramel sauce and lightly toast pecans before adding them to the cheesecake.
