Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bag, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Seal and massage until coated, then press into a springform pan.
  2. Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese with granulated and brown sugars until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gradually add sour cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and salt and mix on low speed until combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the filling into the crust, smoothing the top. Place the pan in a roasting pan and fill it with hot water.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes until the edges puff slightly, with a gentle wobble in the center.
  8. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour, then cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
