Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a standard muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into each cupcake liner. Press firmly into the bottom to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass for even pressure.
Bake the crusts in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the sour cream and flour, ensuring the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each almost to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the centers are slightly set but still jiggle slightly when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and allow the cupcakes to cool in the oven for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool to room temperature in the pan. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled.
Before serving, dust the tops with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh fruit for extra flair.
