Directions

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
• Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.

• Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until fully combined.
• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour.
• Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust.
• Drizzle ¼ cup caramel sauce over the filling and swirl with a knife to marble.
• Add the remaining cheesecake filling on top and smooth the surface.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

• Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50–60 minutes or until the center is just set.
• Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Cool to room temperature afterward.

4. Prepare the Crunch Topping:

• Mix crushed vanilla wafers with melted butter until evenly coated.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the cooled cheesecake and press gently.

5. Add the Final Touch:

• Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the cheesecake.

6. Chill and Serve:
