Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Set aside.
Prepare the filling: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, then mix until combined.
Add eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix to avoid adding too much air to the batter.
Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Wrap the pan: Cover the bottom and sides of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from seeping in during the cooking process.
Prepare the crock pot: Place a trivet or a few crumpled aluminum foil balls at the bottom of the slow cooker to elevate the cheesecake. Pour 2 cups of water into the slow cooker to create a water bath.
Cook the cheesecake: Place the springform pan inside the crock pot on top of the trivet or foil balls. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on high for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the center of the cheesecake is slightly jiggly but not liquid.
Cool the cheesecake: Turn off the slow cooker and let the cheesecake sit inside with the lid slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking as it cools down gradually.
Chill: Remove the cheesecake from the slow cooker and let it come to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
Serve: Release the springform pan, slice the cheesecake, and serve plain or with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce.
