2 teaspoons vanilla

Pulse Graham crackers, sugar, cinnamon in a food processor until crumbs. Add melted butter gradually and mix. Pat into a spring form pan using a measuring cup to push it up the sides to form the crust. Bake at 350 for 5-7 minutes. (just until you smell it) set aside to cool. Heat oven to 475.

Mix cream cheese and sugar together u til just smooth. Do not over beat as it will affect the final texture. Scrape bowl down. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time mixing on slow until blended. Scrape bowl down and blend again until just smooth.
