Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture into the bottom of a buttered springform pan.
- Bake the crust for about 10 minutes until it’s set and slightly golden. Let it cool.
