Grandma Mullen’s Cheesecake

 Grandma's cheescake recipe is as follows:

For the crust:
-1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-3 tablespoons sugar
-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
-4 tablespoons melted butter
Mix together and press into a spring form pan. 9” or 10”

For the filling:
-3 12oz. packages of cream cheese (36oz. usually is 4
1/2 packages of the 8oz).
-1 cup sugar
-5 eggs
-Juice of one lemon, plus the rind grated
Beat cream cheese and  sugar until it is creamy.  

Add the eggs then the lemon juice and rind. 
Pour mixture into the pan

Bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes--the center
should shake when it is ready

If desired:
Beat 2 tablespoons sugar into 1/2 cup sour cream. 
Spread on top of cake and return to over for 10
minutes. (I don't ever remember Grandma doing this
part, probably because she usually served it with
rasberry puree).
