New York Cheesecake

Crust:

15 graham crackers, crushed
2 TBS butter, melted

Filling:
4 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cups milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tbs vanilla
1/4 cup flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of 9" springform pan.

In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press into bottom of pan.

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, then add eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth.

Pour filling in to crust.

Bake in preheated oven 1 hour. Then, turn off oven and let cool with door closed for 5-6 hours. (I made this at night and let it cool while I slept). This prevents cracking.

Chill in refrigerator until served. Top with favorite topping. We used cherry pie filling.
