Directions:Preheat oven to 375ºF.
To make crust: Mix all ingredients together and press down into 10" springform pie pan, then chill in refrigerator.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, and soften the cream cheese by putting in microwave for increments of 15 seconds (make sure to soften, not melt). Blend everything together in mixing bowl except sour cream. Then fold in sour cream 1 cup at a time. Mix should be smooth and creamy.
Put mix in springform pan on top of your crust and place in a water bath (you can use a bigger pan filled 1/4 of the way full with water, then place the springform pan with your cheesecake on top). Bake for 40 minutes, then turn oven off. Leave your cheesecake in oven for 1 hour.
Cool in refrigerator and top with your favorite fruit toppings or whipped cream if you wish. Enjoy! |

Notes: This is my grandmother Josephine Griffin's recipe that was handed down to her by her mother. Her family, from Abruzzo, Italy, immigrated to the U.S. in the late 1920s through Ellis Island when she was a child and settled in the Cleveland, Ohio area.
