Cheesecake



Crust
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs, rolled fine
3 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Thoroughly mix ingredients.  Press firmly into a 9 or 10-inch pie pan, lining bottom and sides; set aside.

Filling
1½ pounds (3 8-ounce packages) softened cream cheese
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
¾ teaspoon vanilla

Beat cream cheese well.  Add sugar a little at a time; add eggs one at a time; add vanilla.  Combine thoroughly.  Pour into crust; fill to within ½ inch of top to allow room for topping.  Bake 60 minutes at 300 degrees.

Topping
1 pint (16-ounces) sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla

Whip sour cream; add sugar gradually; add vanilla.  Pour over pie and return to oven.  Bake for 10 minutes at 300 degrees.  Cool.
