Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a small bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Add this mixture into a 10 inch pie pan. Pat down with your hands or the bottom of a drinking glass. Place in oven for 5-7 minutes or until slightly browned. Won't take long.
After the pie shell is done cooking remove from oven onto cooling sheet or pot holder and lower the oven temperature to 250 degrees.
In a large bowl add the cream cheese, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Blend together with a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the blade attachement. Blend for 2-3 minutes until fluffy and combined.
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Smooth out the filling with a spatula. Place in the 250 degree oven for 45 minutes.
When the baking time is done place on a cooling rack in the fridge for at least 4 hours. Serve and enjoy. Keep refrigerated. Serve with desired topping, though no topping is really needed.
