Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. This will take about 2-3 minutes of mixing with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just incorporated. Do not overmix, as this can introduce too much air into the batter.
Gently fold in the sour cream with a spatula until fully blended. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick.
Pour the cheesecake batter into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. The center should still be slightly jiggly when you gently shake the pan.
Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the pie inside with the oven door slightly ajar for 30 minutes. This helps prevent cracking as the cheesecake cools gradually.
Remove the cheesecake pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, about 1-2 hours.
Refrigerate the cheesecake pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set.
Add your favorite toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate syrup) just before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
