This recipe was submitted by Denise. It was handed down to her from her mother. I have NOT tested this recipe yet, but it looked so good, I had to post.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Ingredients for the Crust: Use a spring-pan.

1-¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cups sugar
¼ cups melted butter

Combine butter and sugar with the graham cracker crumbs, and line the spring-pan. The back of a large cold spoon works well for this.

Bottom layer ingredients:

1 lb. softened cream cheese
½ cups sugar
3 medium eggs
¾ tsp vanilla

Cream softened cream cheese, add remaining ingredients and blend well. Pour in pan over crust and bake for 20 min. After removing from the oven, increase oven temperature to 475 degrees.

Top layer ingredients:

1 pint sour cream
¼ cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Blend together, add on top of first filling after it has cooled a little. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on bake rake before refrigerating.
